Piper-Heidsieck Champagne Rosé Sauvage NV $61.98 BOGO: Winemaker notes: Rose Sauvage, meaning Wild Rose in French, is not your typical Champagne Rose. A high proportion of Pinot Noir (also Pinot Meunier and Chardonnay) results in a bold, deep-hued rosé and a palate that is structured, full-bodied, and yet distinctly elegant. A brisk, original and juicy wine which simultaneously offers black cherry, blackberry, pink grapefruit and blood orange notes. This structure and fruitiness are enriched with warm, spicy notes of Espelette pepper, tea, and licorice. Assemblage.

Leah Jorgensen Cellars Lakeside Vineyard Rosé of Cabernet Franc 2020 Rogue Valley, Oregon $21.99: Leah Jørgensen does everything from farming to wine production and bottling.

Winery Reflections: Cabernet Franc sourced from the Lakeside Vineyard in Southern Oregon, beautifully showcases this noble grape's ability to make wonderfully energetic and elegant rosé.
