2015 Manzoni Pedregal Vineyard San Benito County Rosé of Pinot Noir

13.9% alc., 127 cases, $23, screwcap. Release summer 2016. Grower Ray Franscioni and winemaker David Coventry. . · Moderately light cherry red color in the glass. Splendid aromas of red berries, watermelon, blood orange and dried herbs. A richer style of rosé that drinks almost like a regular still Pinot Noir, yet never wavers from its rosé genetics. The flavors of red berries, Damsel plum, red cherry and watermelon are pleasingly assembled and polished in the mouth. Score: 91. Reviewed August 17, 2016
