Lot 448 | 2023 Sonoma Coast Rosé 750ml

Lot 448
2023 Sonoma Coast Rosé

750ml

$40/bottle under the original label

Lot 448 was crafted by one of the most decorated and recognizable houses in the Sonoma Coast. They’ve been farming this region since the early 90s and are committed to organic and biodynamic viticulture - this isn’t some side project for them, this is the latest from a formidable Rosé program that has garnered 90-93 points on previous vintages.

Elegant on the nose with refreshing wet river stones and spiced cherries, leading into deeper notes of red fruit and herbs - almost Provençal in its aromatics. The entry is fresh and expertly distributed; red fruits and spice rise over medium+ acidity accented by further wet river stones. The dry finish resonates with juicy fruits, uplifted herbs, and spice commanding another sip. This is a versatile Rosé, equally poolside-ready for the warmer months as it is festive for your holiday tables.

Reviews

Sonoma Sunshine

"Sonoma Rose' is refreshing as it is pretty in the glass next to a floral bouquet. Fresh, clean, and bright acidity, food friendly or by itself? No complaints."

— Michael J. (5/5)

Another delicious Rosé for de Negoce

"Whenever a rosé is available in the bottle shop I don't hesitate! Light, fruity, not too sweet - the perfect rosé for any occasion."

— Lucie B. (5/5)

A Rose that just doesn't have enough umph to it

"This wine went down easy, but it had very light flavors. I was expecting a little more flavor and aroma."

— Alan P. (3/5)

448 is worthy of enjoyment

"Great as an opener as guests arrive prior to pairing food. Pale salmon in the glass, definite river stones, mouth feel as described. Enjoyable as comes to room temperature."

— Paul C. (5/5)

Compliments for 448 from guests

"We have availed ourselves to all four of this summer's pinot noir rose' offerings from California (448, 449, 483, 487). All are winners, so much so that we have ordered more of 448 and 449. Shocked to find that 448 and 449 are still in the Bottle Shop. All are fantastic, but each has its own unique character. This past weekend, we served 448 to guests as a palate opener while waiting for the final guest to arrive and the food starters/wine pairings to begin. Stretched one bottle of 448 across eight glasses and everyone was delighted and wanting more. Numerous compliments were voiced!"

What a rosé should be

"Very nice rosé wine, crisp, refreshing, not at all cloying, very enjoyable alone or with food."

— Thomas H. (5/5)

Beautiful Summer Sipper

"I mean, talk about value! This rose’ of Pinot has a subtle nose of citrus blossom and hibiscus. The palate gives you more citrus and just a hint of cranberry. The cool coastal weather makes itself known with bright acidity and stony minerality. This is perfect by the pool or with a summer salad and pork loin. Enjoy!"

— Nathaniel A. (4/5)

Another good Rose

"I have had a number of good DN Roses this year and this one is no exception and a great summer wine."

— Jeff S. (5/5)
