“What’s YOUR favorite wine?” I often get asked by customers in the tasting room as they gaze at the rows of bottles on the shelves. I usually pause; this question is like being asked which of your children is your favorite. The answer usually depends on the kind of day you’re having.

Lately, most of my days point me in the direction of Noisy Water Winery’s 2019 Pinot Noir Rosé. Made with grapes from our own Forbidden Desert Vineyard (which seems to be particularly favorable to Pinot Noir), this wine is a perfect companion to just about every occasion. Whether it’s meeting with friends for a casual lunch or a more formal dinner or just lounging in front of the TV binge-watching with snacks, this rosé provides the finishing touch.

Twelve hours of skin contact during the maceration process gives just the right touch of dryness while imparting a beautiful, rosy sunset shade of pink. Bittersweet berries on the nose, with a touch of earthiness and character from the land where the grapes are grown, smooth out into a crisp finish of citrus and a burst of berry flavor. Refreshing and easy to sip, it pairs well with everything you can think of!

“Accept what life offers you and try to drink from every cup. All wines should be tasted; some should only be sipped, but with others, drink the whole bottle.”
— Paul Coelho
