  Well, I can say that I have never been a big fan of ROSÉ, but what a great summer sipper this wine is. Of course, being made from pinot noir, how can we not like it? Tonight we paired it with crab legs, corn on the cob, and pasta salad out on the bistro, as a lovely end to the Memorial Day weekend. A nice pink color in the glass, with a nose of tropical fruits, flowers, and strawberries. On the palate, lots of passion fruit, pomegranate, and a bit of spice, with a bit of sharp acidity, and a very short but pleasant finish. When it comes to summer sippers, this is definitely a winner. What really intrigues me about this wine is the fact that it is a mix of grapes from both the Fiddlestix Vineyard in Santa Rita Hills, as well as fruit from the Alloro Vineyard in Oregon. Some of the clones harvested for this blend include Pommard, and Dijon clone 667, making this wine is a great blend, and I look forward to enjoying many more bottles this summer. 88 points http://jerseyfoodies.blogspot.com/2008/05/2006-fiddlehead-cellars-pinot-noir-pink.html

  Not bad, a bit of a bitter after taste, but all in all a good wine.

  I concur with HurrahSyrah... I love this rose! easily the best rose I've tasted this year, and one I've gone back for on multiple occasions. Juicy and crisp, with enough finesse to keep you mesmerized as you decode the tropical fruit. Yet more than the typical juicy rose, this one actually had some very subtle earth tones. Kick ass wine and highly recommend summer drinker!

  Tasted at a retail trade show. This wine exibited a rich deep pink/light red color with a nose filled with aromas of strawberries, flowers, and tropical fruits. On the palate, rich flavors of strawberries, melons and guava were present with hints of pomegranate and berries leading to a somewhat dry finish. Delicious! HS92
