Robert Sinskey '06 Vin Gris of Pinot Noir, Carneros
Wine writer/sommelier/wine pimp Chris Sawyer turned me on to this pale pink delight, and I can't decide whether to organize a parade in his honor or kick his ass. I can't get enough of the stuff! It has a pale, salmon color, with fresh strawberry and citrus flavors that make it the perfect summer wine. Unlike some blockbuster California pinks, this one is crisp, light and understated. You can order it online ($20) through the Robert Sinskey website, or find a local retailer through Wine Searcher. But beware: this delicious wine is like pink liquid crack.
I love this wine. It's my favorite rose, and the only rose I ever gave my highest rating to ("Exceptional"). Rave on.
