Dolan & Weiss Cellars 2015 Julia’s Dazzle Rosé, Horse Heaven Hills, $16
Long Shadows winemaker Gilles Nicault crafts one of the Northwest’s best pink wines annually, and his latest creation from The Benches site is beautiful. Aromas of pear, rhubarb-strawberry jam and clove lead to flavors of Honeycrisp apple, Rainier cherry and a hint of ripe pear. It’s all backed by bright acidity. This won best rosé at the fourth annual Walla Walla Valley Wine Competition, a scholarship competition that benefits future winemakers by providing funds for viticulture and enology students at Walla Walla Community College.
Rating: Outstanding!
Production: 7163 cases
Alcohol: 14.1%

Isn’t Rose Day the second weekend in June every year? When did it become August 14th?

Caroline,
Apparently, rosé is so important that it has a national day and an international day.
