Bow & Arrow Rosé of Gamay Noir, Willamette Valley 2024 750ml Displayed Price: $21.90, that’s $20.81 at 5% off and $19.71 at 10% off, 19 bottles in stock now
Winery Note “This year’s rosé is a short maceration of Gamay from the organically farmed Rooker Vineyard in the Eola-Amity Hills AVA. Natural as can be! It’s a stainless steel fermented study on wet rocks and perhaps a border skirmish between watermelon Jolly Ranchers and Grapefruit Jarritos. Unyeasted, unfiltered, unfined and unmanipulated. Only made in years that lend themselves to making quality rose. Our smallest production.”

Championship Bottle “A Thousand Dreams” Hollow Oak Vineyard Field Blend, Chehalem Mountains 2023 750ml Displayed Price: $29, that’s $27.55 at 5% off and $26.10 at 10% off, 10 bottles in stock now
Winery Note “The 2023 A Thousand Dreams is a wine that ended up embodying our Friuli-meets-Oregon idea like few others. The short version is that it’s a field blend of Ribolla Gialla, Tocai Friulano, and Pinot Noir, all harvested together from the same block and pressed as a white wine. It’s farmed by the incomparable Jess Miller from a tiny (6 acre) vineyard she leases in the Chehalem Mountains’ Ladd Hill. Because of the Pinot, A Thousand Dreams is very gently pink (aka ramato, or onion-skin), though its personality is very much white-wine. Fermented and aged in a 500L puncheon (and a bit of stainless steel) it’s exceptionally food friendly, as well, with flavors of tart white peach, a gentle, cool-green/sage-y herb tone, a touch of waxiness, and the faintest hit of white strawberries.”

Goodfellow Family Cellars Rosé of Pinot Noir, Willamette Valley 2023 750ml Displayed Price: $18, that’s $17.10 at 5% off and $16.20 at 10% off, 36+ bottles in stock now
Winery Note “Peach blossoms, wild strawberries, star fruit, green melon, light florals. This is very pretty in the nose, light bodied with plenty of flavor, and brightly refreshing to drink. The bottle disappears quickly. Perfect for sunny days watching the hummingbirds, grilling chicken, and sushi. 82% direct press from the blanc de noir program and 18% saignee from100% whole cluster ferments of Whistling Ridge and Durant. 12.3% abv and 266 cases produced.”

Illahe Estate Tempranillo Rosé, Willamette Valley 2024 750ml Displayed Price: $21.90, that’s $20.81 at 5% off and $19.71 at 10% off, 18 bottles in stock now
Winery Note “Oregon’s best rosé of tempranillo is ready to delight again after its trip through stainless tanks and neutral oak barrels. This year’s offering has notes of strawberry, blood orange, guava, mango, and watermelon rind with crisp, refreshing acidity. It is produced in 25% neutral barrel, 75% stainless steel, and directly pressed. The acidity keeps this wine fresh and alive, but the barrel fermentation helps to balance the mouth and keep it rich.”

Arnot-Roberts Rosé, California 2024 750ml Displayed Price: $26, that’s $24.70 at 5% off and $23.40 at 10% off, 24 bottles in stock now
Winemaker’s Note “We began making Rosé from Touriga Nacional in 2010. We were compelled by the grape’s deep color, brilliant acidity and aromatic complexity even at low sugar content. Touriga is a late-ripening Portuguese variety that needs some heat to mature, and we have sought out vineyards suited to this hearty variety.”
Lioco Rosé of Carignan, Mendocino County 2023 750ml Displayed Price: $21.90, that’s $20.81 at 5% off and $19.71 at 10% off, 13 bottles in stock now
Winemaker’s Note “100% Rosé of Carignan. Lioco Rose of Carignan offers aromas of pink guava, grapefruit pith, and rosemary blossom. Aromas of sungold tomato, white strawberry, and hibiscus. Pair with pan seared trout, paella, or anchovy toast.”

Billecart-Salmon ‘Cuvée Elisabeth Salmon’ Brut Rosé Millesime, Champagne 2012 1.5L Displayed Price: $469, that’s $445.55 at 5% off and $422.10 at 10% off, 1 magnum in stock now
Yohan Castaing-Wine Advocate 97 points “A blend of 45% Pinot Noir and 55% Chardonnay, the 2012 Brut Rosé Cuvée Elisabeth Salmon is a real success, wafting from the glass with aromas of red berries, rose, peony, orange blood and dried flowers. Medium to full-bodied, vinous and broad, it’s dense and deep with a multidimensional core of fruit, racy acids and a textural structure, concluding with a long, delicate, mouthwatering finish. This is one of the finest rosé I’ve tasted at this address. Kudos! Drink: 2024-2054.”
This is the lowest listed price in the USA today for the magnum!
Benoit Dehu ‘Initiation’ Rosé Brut Nature, Champagne NV (2021) 750ml Displayed Price: $99, that’s $94.05 at 5% off and $89.10 at 10% off, 11 bottles in stock now
Antonio Galloni-Vinous 91 points “The (2021) Extra Brut Rosé Cuvée Initiation is superb. Here, the addition of 7% still red Pinot fills out the mid-palate and gives the wine some of the textural presence that is missing in the Blanc de Blancs bottling. Chalk, cranberry, mint and white pepper build into the tense, sinewy finish. Disgorged: January 25, 2024.”
This is the lowest listed price on the West Coast!
Delamotte Brut Rosé, Champagne NV 750ml Displayed Price: $119, that’s $113.05 at 5% off and $107.10 at 10% off, 7 bottles in stock now
Antonio Galloni-Vinous 94 points “[Reviewed in 2023] The NV Champagne Rosé is a blend of 80% Chardonnay and the rest Pinot Noir, with the base of 2019, and 15% still red wine. It pours a salmon/orange-tinged hue and opens in the glass to fresh, floral, pretty aromas of nectarine, salted orange, fresh rose petal, and curry spice. Medium-bodied, it has a wonderful chalky and pithy texture, with a pinpoint mousse that’s almost an afterthought. Ripe with fruit but well-balanced and long, with mouthwatering acidity, its spicier notes (cardamom, perhaps?) start to reveal themselves as it opens, and the wine lasts long on the palate. It is quite distinctive. Drink 2024-2040. 8 grams per liter dosage.” [Fall 2023 release. Base vintage may vary from review.]
De Venoge Louis XV de Venoge Extra Brut Rosé Millesime, Champagne 2002 750ml Displayed Price: $189, that’s $179.55 at 5% off and $170.10 at 10% off, 7 bottles in stock now
Wine Spectator 93 points “Harmonious, with fine intensity, offering rich notes of spice cake, toasted almond, dried cherry, grilled plum and smoky mineral. Almost velvety in texture, with juicy acidity that brings you back for another sip. Delicious. Drink now through 2022. 54 cases made.”

Diebolt-Vallois Brut Rosé, Champagne NV 750ml Displayed Price: $49, that’s $46.55 at 5% off and $44.10 at 10% off, 19 bottles in stock now
Winery Note “This elegant pink champagne offers abundant red fruit aromas: raspberries, red currants and wood strawberries. Varieties used: 63% Pinot Noir, 27% Chardonnay, 10% Pinot Meunier. Terroir: The grapes come mainly from the fields known as Les Toulettes in Epernay. Vinification: Fermentation in thermostatically controlled vats. Blended rosé: addition of Bouzy Rouge (grand cru). Dosage: 3-5 g/l.”
Gatinois Aÿ Grand Cru Brut Rosé, Champagne NV 750ml Displayed Price: $64.50, that’s $61.28 at 5% off and $58.05 at 10% off, 8 bottles in stock now
Antonio Galloni-Vinous 92 points “A blend of Chardonnay and Pinot Noir, the NV Champagne Grand Cru Aÿ Brut Rosé has the addition of a small portion of red wine coming from Gatinois’ oldest parcels in Aÿ. Pouring a jeweled pink/ruby color, it’s spicy on the nose, with aromas of cranberry, orange peel, crushed stones, and fennel. Medium-bodied and bright on the palate, with a frothy mousse, even acidity, and a savory and saline finish, this is another vibrant gastronomic wine that offers a good deal of versatility across seasons and pairing at the table. Drink 2024-2032.”
Laurent-Perrier Alexandra Rosé, Champagne 1990 750ml Displayed Price: $599, that’s $569.05 at 5% off and $539.10 at 10% off, 2 bottles in stock now
Wine Spectator 94 points “Beautifully done. Vigorous and almost chewy, this intense, full-bodied rosé exudes mint, berry and wood aromas and flavors. Muscular and dense, with a character that engages the palate and needs contemplation or food.”

Pommery Cuvée Louise Brut Rosé Millesime, Champagne 2004 750ml Displayed Price: $249, that’s $236.55 at 5% off and $224.10 at 10% off, 30 bottles in stock now
James Suckling 95 points “This is a new release and shows wonderful finesse and beauty. You know that the moment you see the pale-amber color. It’s medium bodied with freshness and energy and a long, vivid finish. A joy to taste. Drink now.”

Frederic Savart Bulle de Rosé Premier Cru Brut Rosé, Champagne NV 750ml Displayed Price: $95, that’s $90.25 at 5% off and $85.50 at 10% off, 12 bottles in stock now
Decanter 92 points “Another citrus-forward Champagne here, playing its rosé cards close to its chest and leaning more into white territory. A soft fruity palate follows aromas of grapefruit and orange rind, switching gear as the mousse expands into an almost savoury, nut and dried herb finish. It maintains a taut structure and impresses with its elegance. (Drink between 2024-2030).”
Vilmart & Cie ‘Cuvée Rubis’ Brut Rosé, Champagne NV 750ml Displayed Price: $99, that’s $94.05 at 5% off and $89.10 at 10% off, 13 bottles in stock now
Antonio Galloni-Vinous 92 points “In the NV Brut Rosé Cuvée Rubis readers will find one of the most elegant, nuanced Rosés in the market. Light and gracious, yet also wonderfully deep, the Rubis has so much to offer. Red berry fruit, crushed rocks, rose petal, mint and white pepper are some of the many notes that pulse through this vivid, taut Champagne. I am especially impressed by the translucent energy of the Rubis. In a word: gorgeous. [Review for previous disgorgement, no review available for current disgorgement.]”

Josh Raynolds-Vinous 94 points “Vivid onion skin color. A highly perfumed and complex bouquet evokes fresh citrus and pit fruits, strawberry and pungent flowers, along with building mineral and succulent herb elements. Shows excellent clarity and depth to its juicy red fruit, nectarine and mango flavors, which are sweetened by a background of vanilla note. Finishes impressively long and silky, with the mineral and floral note resonating.”

“The 2023 Rosé Griottes speaks in hushed tones. Simple notes of peach, orange peel and chamomile run through both nose and palate. Easygoing and uncomplicated, this is a decent poolside quaff.” -Billy Norris, Vinous

Proprieta Sperino ‘Rosa del Rosa’ Rosato Coste della Sesia, Piedmont 2023 750ml Displayed Price: $24, that’s $22.80 at 5% off and $21.60 at 10% off, 35 bottles in stock now
Eric Guido-Vinous 91 points “The 2022 Rosa del Rosa is delicate and airy in the glass, slowly evolving with green melon, dusty rose and ginger. It’s silk and enveloping with a burst of minerality up front that gives way to young peach and savory spice. This leaves the palate bone dry yet watering for more as the 2022 finishes pleasantly chewy and with medium length. This is a more understated vintage for the Rosa Del Rosa, yet still pleasurable.”

Winery Notes “The elegance of Glera enhanced by the structure of Pinot Nero. Prosecco rosé has a coppery color and a refined bouquet. On the palate it is fresh and fruity with attractive scents of raspberries.”

Bodegas Olivares Rosado, Jumilla 2024 750ml Displayed Price: $14, that’s $13.30 at 5% off and $12.60 at 10% off, 22 bottles in stock now
Luis Gutiérrez-Wine Advocate 90 points “The bright rosé 2024 Rosado is young and fruit-driven, with freshness despite being from the third dry and warm vintage in a row when they got very low yields. It’s pure Garnacha from free-run juice with 12.5% alcohol, with notes of roses and wild herbs, a little reductive, with a soft palate, balanced and clean. It’s closed with a screw cap. 60,000 bottles produced. It was bottled in November 2024.”

Pares Balta Pink Brut Cava, Catalonia NV 750ml Displayed Price: $19, that’s $18.05 at 5% off and $17.10 at 10% off, 17 bottles in stock now
Winery Notes ” …a coupage of Grenache and the indigenous catalan varieties Parellada and Macabeo made according to the traditional method. A vintage wine carefully matured in underground cellars on its lees during 18 months and finally bottled with zero dosage … Thanks to its aromatic and richness nose with scents of strawberry and raspberry that follow through onto the palate and then develops into a wonderfully intense and concentrated pastry finish and spicy background.”

Erin Larkin-Wine Advocate 95 points “As an Australian, it is hard to read “Roux Beaute” and not think “you beaut.” Thankfully, the internal rhyming suggestion is apt. The 2020 Roux Beaute Roussanne is concentrated and broad, with layers of phenolics in the mouth—bitter almond, green apple skin, white flowers, caper berries, cheesecloth, brine and feijoa, even custard apple, perhaps. It’s good. It’s really good. It shows that textural breadth and depth can still be lively and bright. This is an exciting wine and very well handled. You beaut.”

Erin Larkin-Wine Advocate 98 points “The fruit for this 2019 High Sands Grenache is sourced from the highest plot on the estate, from old bush vines planted in 1946. This an incredibly complex wine that undulates and ripples across the tongue; it brings blood and ferrous, crushed quartz and pink peppercorns, poise and succulence, but never, ever heaviness. Weight: no. This has silken sway and lithe flow, but no heaviness. What an amazing wine that lingers and echoes through the finish. An emphatic, resounding, YES. In fact, I was almost done with this tasting note, and it occurred to me that there is also framboise, licorice, a hint of anise, salami and graphite through the finish. It’s a crime to spit this out—so I won’t.”

Yangarra Estate Vineyard Ovitelli Grenache, McLaren Vale 2020 750ml $89 special, 4 bottles in stock now
Erin Larkin-Wine Advocate 96 points “The fruit for the 2020 Ovitelli Grenache is sourced from bush vines planted in 1946, just after the second World War. This is incredibly fine. It is pure and layered with blood, red licorice, crushed minerals, black tea, satsuma plum, black cherries and framed by ferrous tannins. What a joy this is… it lingers in the mouth long after the wine is gone, allowing for a bit of chew and thought before the next sip. Elegance 101.”
