Shop Review: "The Vin Gris is a bright and vibrant salmon color with cherry, strawberry, cranberry, and ripe watermelon aromas on the nose. On entry, the wine displays bright strawberry flavors. Throughout the mid-palate and finish, raspberry and cherry fruit characters are balanced with spicy and crisp acidity that linger creating a refreshing and lengthy finish."
My Review: This was my first time trying a pinot noir rose. It had an interesting salmon/orangish color (which I am not used to seeing in roses) with a nice smell, really fruity and sweet with slight hints of pepper. It was also nice on the mouth, with just the right mouthfeel, a light taste that did not have too much alcohol. There was a floral aftertaste, reminding me of rose petals, and not much fruit on the tongue. Was not paired with any food.
