Ryan Patrick Rose 2016 (750ML)

Best Buy! This Milbrandt brothers/Flanagan family project bills its 2015 rosé as Rhône-styled, which fits because its 80% Syrah. Made from grapes grown in the Columbia Valley, it displays aromas of pomegranate and ruby grapefruit, then offers flavors of strawberry, rhubarb and more grapefruit. It’s a delightful warm-weather sipper perfect for a weekend on the deck. This earned a gold medal at the 2016 Cascadia Wine Competition for winemaker Jeremy Santo.
