Alma de Cattleya 2024 Rose of Pinot Noir, Sonoma County 92 Points

WRO 92 Points; ” You might not be thawing out enough just yet to be warming up to the prospect of Rose, but this bottle will make you feel like springtime, even if the ground is still white where you are. A vibrant nose of tart strawberry is accented by wildflowers, a touch of bay leaf. The fruit and herb get straight ahead delivery on the palate, with bright acidity bringing out the herb note in a dry, zippy package that invites you back for more. Here’s to warming weather!

Tasting Notes by Bibiana Gonzalez Rave Pisoni: “The fruit for our Rosé of Pinot Noir comes from the cool hillsides of the Sonoma Coast. Grapes are handpicked at night and delivered to the winery at very low temperatures. This wine is a combination of saignée juice and hand-sorted Pinot Noir clusters that are pressed and carefully transferred to neutral barrels or stainless steel tanks to start very cold fermentation. The result is a crisp, savory rosé with intense and complex aromatics.”
