2005 Domaine des Corbillieres TOURAINE PINOT NOIR ROSÉ (Loire, France)
An OUTSTANDING rosé. Very light, bright, salmon-pink color. Phenomenal nose that vaults out of the glass -- freshly-picked stawberries, cherries, tropical fruit, and cold steel. In the mouth, this wine juxtaposes great fruit and concentration (for a rosé) with the ethereal lightness of a ballet dancer. Long, dry, pure-fruit finish. Easily the most pleasurable rosé I've had in several years. 92. WOW! Was only $10.99 at Richard's on Shepherd. GET THIS IMMEDIATELY! (I mean, after I go back and get a few more bottles).

Hey, Tom. I just stumbled onto your site. You've got a good writing style. (And I though lawyers were notoriously poor communicators!)
Glad to see you're reviewing pink wines.....And also glad to see you're shopping at Spec's...a great wine shop.
Hope you'll try some of our pink wines from SoloRosa (We're the only winery in America crazy enough to make 4 different roses. This year, we'll make 4!) Just ask Bear Dalton over at Specs where to find our pink juice. And come see us in California.
Best--Jeff Morgan
