I was struck by the balance of fruit and texture interlaced with the delicate kiss of fresh herbs. This edition of our Pink River ros is our California interpretation. If youve read my description of our sparkling ros, youll now know what a sucker I am for pinot noir in all its forms.The coastal pinot noir gives this wine that peak-of-season strawberry flavor that youd pay $10 a basket for at the farmers market. This edition is made even more special by the addition of syrah, grenache and cinsault — creating a scent memory of a fresh ocean breeze running through a field of sage.PLAYS WELL WITH: Tacos, Mediterranean food, charcuterie, soft cheeses, oven roasted vegetables
