Dark red.  Assertive aromas of raspberry, mocha, anise and woodsmoke.  Energetic and bright, with flavors of red berries, herbs and rose pastille that could use more heft.  Finishes on a gently sweet note, with soft tannins and decent persistence.

    Dominique Portet's Pinot Rose, Yarra Valley...now that's what I'm talking about!Oooh, and Sinskey Vineyards (Napa Valley) Pinot Vin Gris is also stunning! Look forward to trying this Sonoma Rose. Thanks for the recommendation!
