2024 Paper Planes Rosé of Pinot Noir. BOOM!!!
From the label: “Rosé isn’t an afterthought – it’s our only thought.” Them’s some big words:
Well, they backed them up. That said, if you went to your cellar looking for a Rosé and not, per se, a Paper Planes Rosé, you would skip past this because, well, it’s not pink. It looks for all the world like a pale, straw-colored white. Maybe there is a pink tint, I tell myself as I swirl the glass. Maybe.
Anyway, it’s a Rosé to be taken seriously. Big dose of white peach with some lime and saline notes. This is no wimpy Rosé – it is mouth-coating and long, but it’s still light on its feet. Far from an afterthought, it is a fun and engaging wine. And you don’t have to wait until it’s hot outside to enjoy it (good thing since I live in Maryland, where apparently it never will be warm again).
So, @LauraGabriel , this is killer Rosé, and I am glad there was another one in that Roundtrip Ticket case you sent me. But those other 10 bottles – you must think about something other than Rosé at least some of the time!
PS: I love the Newbies aspect of BD!
