93 Points International Wine Report
The 2025 Lange Estate Rosé of Pinot Noir, Dundee Hills, is a remarkably focused and layered expression, produced exclusively from free-run juice and matured in a combination of stainless steel and neutral French oak puncheons. The aromatic profile leads with notes of yellow nectarine, blood orange zest, and crushed lemongrass, underscored by a hint of red currant compote. On the palate, the wine reveals a sophisticated depth, offering a core of white peach and Rainier cherry that transitions into vibrant nuances of saline and crushed stones. Driven by a precise, linear acid line, the structure remains energetic and expansive through a persistent, saline-flecked finish.

This vintage boasts quiet confidence, with layers that continue to unfold across the palate carried on by a linear acid line. It’s spring to summer in a glass.
