2012 Forlorn Hope Kumo To Ame ($22). This floral rosé is made from a field blend of Portuguese grapes. “Silky and creamy,” it pairs well with seafood.
2012 Broc Cellars Rosé ($20). Chris Brockway uses a blend of counoise and cinsault in this “fresh, tart, and peppery” rosé that’s equally delicious with salmon or a margherita pizza.
