2007 Kenwood Vineyards Pinot Noir Rosé
Russian River Valley, $13
Score: 90.0
One of the best rosés I've encountered. Most rosés bear only a glancing resemblance to the red grapes that gave them expression. Kenwood's 2007 Pinot Noir Rosé is emphatically Pinot Noir with its violet and strawberry character. It's so barely off-dry that most will perceive it as fully dry. It has lovely balance and a hint of spritz. Serve at cellar temperature for best results. Stellar!
