The only publication to have reviewed this is Britain’s Jancis Robinson: which rates it not only the top Sinskey Rosé but also the top Sinskey wine they’ve ever reviewed, period. They say:
Light baby-pink. Aromas of watermelon, strawberries and hibiscus. Strawberry and watermelon-rind flavours combine with a touch of citrus peel. Nice silky texture and excellent acidity.
The winery explains:
Stunningly beautiful, prime, organically farmed Pinot Noir grown on RSV’s “Carneros estate” vineyards is night-picked by hand, delivered to the cellar door kissed by the morning dew where it is delicately whole-cluster pressed. Only the delicious “free-run” juice (no skins, stems or seeds) is cold fermented. That is it! No manipulation, no blend back of other juices for color; this wine is grown well, handled delicately and fermented for purity. It is an honest rosé.
This may be the only American rosé with a true cult following: and their best-ever 2022 vintage shows why. It’s also just beginning to show its best, and will continue to improve for another year or more.
It’s also quite easily the richest, ripest and most complete Sinskey Rosé yet: at 13.7% alcohol vs 12.6% for the 2023.
