Belle Glos Oeil de Perdrix Sonoma County Pinot Noir Blanc 2016

$19.99

A deliciously crisp rose from Belle Glos, a perfect California version that will transport you to summer in the South of France. To capture this shade along with the wine's crisp acidity and bold berry flavors, they lightly press the fresh Pinot Noir juice from the whole clusters, then allow it a brief love affair with spicy French oak barrels during and after fermentation.  Oeil-de-perdrix--French for "eye of the partridge"--is a traditional term for this wine's seductive, jewel-like color. Enjoy it well chilled with raw or grilled seafood, or on its own as a warm-weather refresher. Tasting notes:  Vibrant rose-salmon color. Pronounced aromas of ripe strawberry and green apple are supported by an undertone of light oak. The flavors are lively with cranberry and citrus zest notes. The full, lush mouthfeel is balanced by a brisk acidity and mineral elements, leading to a long-lasting finish..

Clear, light pink red. Mint, vanilla, green floral and Kool Aid strawberry notes in nose. Tutti frutti and cherry-berry flavors with length, rounded mouthfeel tending dry, minimal tannins, fair acidity but fruit forward. Easy sipper.

Second pass. Chilled longer and got a touch more strawberry and watermelon. The acid bleeds through as it warms but it is refreshing.
