Winters Hill Pinot noir Rose
Deep strawberry color, classic Pinot Noir fruit flavors in a light summer wine. Scents of strawberries, herbs and floral (especially roses) notes, flavors repeat the fresh strawberry, rose petal, red raspberry, and wild strawberry essence. The wine has a lovely long, lingering finish.
Good structure and long, crisp finish make this a perfect match for salads, a cheese plate, cold cuts or barbequed chicken.
In a tasting of thirteen dry Roses of Pinot noir, this wine won the Gold. Delicious.
