My husband is part of an online group called Berserkers and every Thanksgiving, apparently for the past 12 years, they support Laura's House, a shelter for victims of domestic violence. We have been participating as well. This year, we took this 2023 Kemmeter Sonero Rose of Pinot Noir, shown on the left in the picture below to our daughter and son-in-law's home for Thanksgiving. This was one of the wines that we purchased recently, when we took a trip up to Ithaca and the Finger Lakes.
The rose was bright and tasted of ripe strawberries and red cherries.
The following evening, we had the 2022 Rose Rock Pinot Noir from Oregon and the 2005 Louis Jadot Beaune Clos des Couchereaux, a New World and an Old World Pinot Noir. It was not a fair comparison because of the age difference. I thought the Louis Jadot still tasted youthful. The Rose Rock was easy drinking and went very well with the Stanley Tucci pasta e fagioli that our son made.
Truth be told, I wasn't really concentrating on the flavors of the wines but enjoying the evening with our son and daughter-in-law visiting from Massachusetts.
Anytime that we can open up some Pinot Noir, especially for such a good cause as Laura's House is a good time!
