Overview

Our 2018 Rosé of Pinot Noir is from our two estate vineyards, the iconic Sanford & Benedict Vineyard and La Rinconada. This salmon colored wine has enticing aromas of blood orange, wild strawberry, and rose petals. On the palate bright red fruits are framed nicely by crisp acidity and lingering minerality. The brightness of this Rosé allows it to pair well with a wide range of foods. Grilled seafood, spicy dishes and most picnic fare are excellent with this wine.

Aging

Aged four months in stainless steel and neutral French Oak barrels

Fermentation

Gently pressing the whole clusters, the lightly colored juice was fermented at cool temperatures in stainless steel tanks. This technique retains the bright fruit character and crisp acidity.
