This delicious rosé is all Pinot Gris, fermented and aged in a mix of amphorae, concrete egg and neutral oak. Whether you consider it an unusually dark white wine, a rosé or an orange wine, it is undeniably delicious. A bright copper color, it's packed with bold flavors of orange and pear liqueur. Slightly oxidized and already a year older than most rosés, it will reward near-term drinking with floral-citrus aromas, lushly ripened fruit and a finishing hint of toast. Paul Gregutt

What Is Blind Tasting?

All tastings reported in the Buying Guide are performed blind. Typically, products are tasted in peer-group flights of from 5-8 samples. Reviewers may know general information about a flight to provide context—vintage, variety or appellation—but never the producer or retail price of any given selection. When possible, products considered flawed or uncustomary are retasted.
