  Gadino Cellars Rosé Blend Rappahannock County Moonrise NV

  Snoothrank:

  A very cool wine! 52% Nebbiolo rose, 31% Cab Franc and 17% Petit Manseng -- the red, white and rose all living in harmony. Drinks like an Italian rosato thanks to the structure from the Nebbiolo and Cab Franc, but the Petit Manseng keeps it light and aromatic at the same time. Read More

I don't know the expertise of the people you are having at the blind testing, but  I feel it would be better to start with same representative varieties from different regions to illustrate the influence of terroir on a grape varietal such as pinot noir from Burgundy, Oregon, Sonoma Coast, Carneros, Chile, etc....

Styles change based on producer and region the grapes come from so you should buy a few from different regions and get an idea which are best suits your flavor profile. Pinot Noir for instance here in California is grown in many areas up and down the State.

  Château Morrisette Viognier Blue Ridge Foothills 2010

  Snoothrank:

  Lovely if very fruity on the nose with good intensity to the classic honeysuckle, peach and honeydew aromas that show a bit of an Orangesicle sweetness to them. In the mouth, this is somewhat small-scaled, bright, juicy and livel, with clear, classic if slightly simple Viognier flavors of orange cream, honeysuckle and candied peach. Not complex ...
