2008 Big Fire Dry Rosé

Each vintage, R.Stuart & Co. blends a proprietary combination of Pinot noir, Syrah and Pinot gris to create Oregon Big Fire Dry Rosé. Pinot noir brings cherries, Syrah carries plums and Pinot gris brings in those fetching mango and guava…fun, fun, fun!

Make no mistake, this wine is dry and crisp in the finish but it tastes like a bowl full of fruit along the way, really. Rob says it makes him think of walking into a cherry and plum orchard in full bloom, sunny morning, dew still on the grass.

A thought surely worthy of a toast, don’t you think? So grab some rosé, raise a glass and let’s drink together to a beautiful day.
