2017	Chateau de L'Aumerade	Marie Christine Rose Cotes de Provence	Light pink. Syrah makes itself known in this Provence blend. Darker fruit notes show on a beautifully extracted wine, but red berry/cherry notes appear on the finish. Crisp, clean and great balance. A blend of 42% Cinsault, 34% Grenache/Garnacha, and 24% Syrah grown on clay-limestone soils in Cru Classé vineyards located in Côtes de Provence's "Golden Triangle".	I Winereview	92		2018-06-27
2017	Domaine Poli	Ile de Beaute Niellucciu Rose	Pale eye of the partridge. Minerals, garrigue and rose petal aromas. Very fresh, mineral laden palate with good intensity of sour cherry fruit. Firmly structured but delicate on the palate, this is a serious food wine. Direct press; 100% Niellucciu from the Domaine Eric Poli's vineyards in the commune of Linguizzetta in Corsica. Eric Poli is the winemaker.	I Winereview	90		2018-06-27
NV	Champagne Serge Mathieu	Rose	Bright salmon pink color. Shows notes of ripe red berries and orange zest with a complicating savory, earth note. Its wine like palate offers concentrated flavors that mirror the bouquet and linger on the finish. Serve this Champagne with rare duck breast. 90% Pinot Noir, 10% Chardonnay with 3 years on the lees and 9.5 g/l RS.	I Winereview	91		2018-06-27
2017	Enanzo	Garnacha Rosado	This 100% Garnacha is medium red in color with a lovely perfumed nose of red raspberry, strawberry and floral notes. It has a wonderful silky palate feel, pure fruit and excellent balance. It is handpicked, direct pressed, and fermented in old cement vats with very little lees contact. Bodegas Campos de Enanzo is a cooperative comprised of 269 family winegrowers located in the southern part of the appellation. Firstclass winemaking.	I Winereview	91		2018-06-27
2016	Carol Shelton	Rondevous Rose Mendocino County	Carol Shelton, the Queen of Zinfandel, also makes outstanding rose. This bottling exhibits a nice fresh, red fruited nose that carries over to a quite densely flavored palate. It has excellent balancing acidity and is mouth filling, more like a red wine in weight and mouthfeel. It also reveals a hint of spices on the palate. Finishes medium long. Made from sustainably grown Carignan grapes	I Winereview	91		2018-06-26
2016	Hopler	Pinot Noir	A lovely touch of wet earth joins softly floral notes on the nose. The palate has a soft texture, somewhere between silk and velvet, with lovely tart cherry fruit, both red, and black. This is a lovely, elegant and resonant proposition with a beautifully fresh finish.	Wine Enthusiast	92		2018-06-26
2016	St. Urbans Hof	Bockstein Riesling Kabinett	Plush pink-grapefruit and pomelo flavors burst from this light-bodied but intensely ripe Riesling. It's subtly sweet yet tangy, balanced by spine-tingling lime acidity and refreshing mineral complexities. Delicious already but it should improve through 2022, hold further.

2016	Aubichon Cellars	Pinot Noir	This blend from three vineyards comes on thick and sappy, with chunky black fruit flavors. Earth, forest floor and dark chocolate details emerge as it fills the palate. It glides smoothly into a rich finish marked by a vein of cola.	Wine Enthusiast	90		2018-06-21
2016	Aubichon Cellars	Reserve Pinot Noir	This reserve bottling from five vineyards—principally in the Chehalem Mountains AVA—is layered and complex. It leads with tart berry and Bing cherry fruit, building toward lighter notes of Dr. Pepper, mushroom soup and miso as it opens. Then, it charges back into lush berry flavors through the palate-rousing finish.	Wine Enthusiast	91		2018-06-21
2016	Jolete	Pinot Noir Le Verre	Consumers have an impressive number of excellent Willamette Valley Pinot Noirs from which to choose at this price point. This one offers deep and potent black fruit and even darker notes of black coffee and chocolate. There's nothing cheap or cheerful about it. It's a serious bottle of wine, right down to the finishing suggestions of toast from new oak aging.	Wine Enthusiast	90		2018-06-21
