Winemaking Notes
The beautifully colored, fresh and vibrant Rosé of Pinot Noir has aromas and flavors of strawberry, melon and tropical fruits. Brilliant and bright with fresh acidity, notes of citrus and a clean finish, enjoy this Rosé of Pinot Noir with goat cheese, fresh Thai food dishes or spicy shrimp tacos.
History
This wine is a delicate process in which our artisanal winemaking craft is carefully balanced with innovation from one of the world's best Pinot Noir region-the Russian River Valley in Sonoma County.
The Vineyards
The 2021 vintage turned out to be a fantastic growing season, with no frost and very mild temperatures throughout most of the year. However, the unpredictable spring rains ended in March in what would become one of the driest seasons on record in Sonoma County. Predicting an early harvest due to the dry conditions, we were surprised to find flavors and high acidities in the berries dictating the need for patience. With everything in balance, we harvested August 16-September 24.
