It is interesting, and certainly rare, to taste a Rosé that shows some of the clonal characteristics that you would expect in a six-clone blend of a full throttle red Pinot Noir. I won’t spoil the fun with a long description — let’s just say you don’t want to miss this one from Alma de Cattleya if you are a fan of Pinot Noir in its pink suit. A blend of Dijon, 115, 667, 777, Mt. Eden and Swan clones.
