When Eric Sussman, already celebrated for his Radio-Coteau label, noticed that Anderson Valley Pinot Noir from Champagne clones, intended for sparkling wine, was going begging, he correctly surmised that it would make a superb rosé. A sophisticated bouquet of cherry skin, tangerine and a touch of chamomile introduce a zesty, nicely intense palate with lovely depth and length. At 12% alcohol and with notable complexity, this is just superb.
