RAM Cellars, Almost Red Dixon Vineyard Columbia Valley (OR) (VIV Label) (2023)

I LOVE THIS WINE. Unlike a rosé that tends to be made from red grapes that are removed from their skins early, this "Almost Red" is actually a blend of equal parts red (Syrah/Counoise) and white (Marsanne) grapes together. The result is a bold, refreshing, sophisticated combination that doesn't take itself too seriously. Perfect for a summer day, served slightly chilled, this wine leaves you thirsty for more with every sip.
