Alma de Cattleya, Sonoma County (California) Rosé of Pinot Noir 2024 ($25)

You might not be thawing out enough just yet to be warming up to the prospect of rosé, 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!
