2007 Elk Cove - Pinot Noir Rose
Wednesday, July 16, 2008
For years I was afraid of Rose's, I equated them with White Zinfandel. Well a few years ago I was forced to drink one and really enjoyed it. Made correctly these wines are crisp, clean and not too sweet. Just a hint of strawberry with a tart finish that is fermented in steel rather than oak. These wines are great during the summer and go well with appetizers or just by themselves. France makes the best Rose's but you can find some outstanding bottles from Oregon and California. This one happens to be from one of my favorite Oregon vineyards, Elk Cove. Next time you are at the store, grab a bottle and give it a shot, its worth trying just once.
