2023 Winderlea "Clos Vernier" Rose of Pinot Noir, Willamette Valley, Oregon, USA

Exuberant on the nose, this delicately-hued rosé brings an abundance of aromas including honeydew, grapefruit and rainier cherry, followed by strawberry, crushed watermelon candy and a hint of cherry blossom. Dry on the palate with energizing acidity and a refreshing finish, you can’t help but be led to visions of endless warm nights ahead.
