Firesteed Cellars 2013 Pinot Noir Rosé, Willamette Valley, $14
Best Buy! Willamette Valley winemaker Bryan Croft creates some of the Northwest best values, and this pink from Pinot Noir developed in Rickreall, Ore., continues his tradition. Pretty aromas of Rainier cherry, ripe strawberry, rhubarb and peach also come with hints of cotton candy and a dusty country road. It’s presented in a bone-dry style with red raspberry, cherry/rhubarb compote and dried strawberry, all surrounded by refreshing acidity. That makes it remarkably versatile for food applications, and don’t judge this by the price, which might be most inexpensive rosé made from Pinot Noir in the region.
Rating: Outstanding!
Production: 800 cases
Alcohol: 13.1%
