There were few bargain rosés made in Washington from this Rhône variety last year because, by the ton, it was the highest-priced grape grown in the state. The aromatic profile hints at bright red fruit such as dusty Rainier cherry, plum juice and light raspberry. On the attack, it’s brisk and bone dry with Montmorency cherry, plum and fresh cranberry, backed by cherry-skin tannin. This is part of Columbia’s Tasting Room Exclusive tier, so it requires a trip to Woodinville.
