2009 RUSSIAN RIVER VALLEY PINOT NOIR ROSÉ - NEW RELEASE


Tasting Notes
"Juicy and fruit-forward, this release delivers engaging aromas of ripe, fresh strawberries and bright orange zest, with subtle floral tones. The palate literally explodes with vibrant strawberry and cherry flavors. The vivid fruit profile and bright acidity make this vintage particularly juicy and mouth-watering. As they do in the south of France, enjoy this dry Rosé well chilled on a hot summer day." - Melissa Stackhouse, La Crema Winemaker

The Place: Russian River Valley
Pinot Noir has a fragile nature that makes it a challenge from vine to bottle. A notorious failure in many places, Pinot Noir only reveals its brilliance in tiny, specific cool-climate pockets of the world and the Russian River Valley happens to be one of them. Cool coastal fog rolls over the vineyards each day, and the grapes ripen at a leisurely pace in the moderate climate. Concentrated, small berries literally burst with vibrant flavors and bright acidity, ideal for crafting a fresh and juicy rosé wine.
