Patton Valley Pinot Noir Rosé – Now Available in Limited Suppy

Patton Valley’s most popular spring tradition, and one of our favorites, is the release of their Pinot Noir Rosé.  We discovered this little gem in the Willamette Valley while traveling the west coast on our 2011 “willdrive4food” trip.  This wine has built an enthusiastic following due to its high quality and distinctive food-friendly style, a direct result of their dedication to the production of this very special wine. Each year one estate block of Patton Valley’s Dijon clone 113 is farmed specifically for Rosé. From vineyard to bottle they diligently work to craft a wine that consistently delivers a world-class experience.

The 2012 Patton Valley Pinot Noir Rosé delivers on that promise!   Its beautiful salmon-pink color hints at the enjoyment that awaits you, and us.  Alluring aromatics spill out of the glass, with scents of fresh ripe pear and grapefruit. Cotton candy and bubble gum welcome deeper inspection.  In the mouth, lush ripe fruit flavors are balanced by a zingy, green apple acidity and a slight mouth-watering frizzante.

One glass is never enough.

Drink and enjoy!
