Lynmar Estate
2014 Russian River Valley Rosé of Pinot Noir

This crisply complex rosé is spring-like and fresh in pineapple and strawberry, a snapshot of dried herb on the back palate. Structured and
dry, it has enough body to stand up to a range of foods, and should be enjoyed accordingly. (VB)
Pedroncelli Winery
2014 Dry Creek Valley Dry Rosé of Zinfandel
$12
With strawberry and cherry flavors that are lipsmacking yet remarkably dry (as in not sweet), this fun-to-drink wine shows Zinfandel’s spiciness and vibrant fruit flavor. It’s utterly delicious and a tremendous deal. (LM)
