A growing number of experts throughout the Northwest are paying attention to the buzz surrounding Lake Chelan, and the recent arrival of Mark Garvin certainly is adding to that. His wines earned five Platinums this fall, led by this sophisticated rosé from Pinot Noir. There’s varietal correctness, starting with the light salmon color, following with the theme of rose petal and jasmine, along with boysenberry and strawberry fruit rollup. In the background, there’s a rub of saddle leather and truffle with a full mouthfeel that includes cantaloupe and white peach. Qualifying awards: Wenatchee (gold), Bellingham NW (gold)
