Rosé
Mendocino County | Crafted From Certified Organically Grown Grapes
JEFF CICHOCKI, WINEMAKER
VINEYARD NOTES
This rosé blends organically grown grapes from throughout California including a large portion from our own organically farmed estate vineyards in Mendocino. Diverse vineyard sites and varietals like Grenache, Mourvèdre, Zinfandel, Malbec and more allow Winemaker Je° Cihocki to select from a broad array of lots to craft a balanced, cohesive wine.
WINEMAKING NOTES
We pressed the grapes immediately after harvest for freshness then kept the juice in contact with the grape skins for a brief period, which gives the wine a delicate pink, pale salmon hue. Each variety is cold fermented separately and after aging in stainless steel tanks for three months, the final blend is assembled.
TASTING NOTES
The 2020 Rosé is Grenache-based, with fresh, citrus aromas and grapefruit, blood orange and watermelon fruit flavors accented with maraschino cherries, quince paste and notes of Earl Grey tea. This dry rosé is both light, juicy and vibrant, with a crisp, mouthwatering finish that begs another sip.
