Sonoma-Cutrer Winemaker's Release Rose of Pinot Noir 2019 750 ml

Sonoma-Cutrer is better known for Chardonnay, but this Winemaker's Release Rosé of Pinot Noir is a limited small-production bottling made from the winery's Russian River Valley Pinot Noir fruit. Made in a dry style with a pale salmon color, expect red berry and citrus notes, crisp acidity, and a clean, refreshing finish rather than any residual sweetness. As a winemaker's release, it's a smaller, more limited run than Sonoma-Cutrer's core lineup, worth trying if you're a fan of their Chardonnay and curious what the estate does with red grapes.

How to drink Sonoma-Cutrer Winemaker's Release Rosé

Serve well chilled, around 45°F. Its crisp, dry style pairs easily with grilled shrimp, a salad with goat cheese, or just on its own on a warm afternoon — classic rosé territory.
