2023 Rosé
2023 Rosé
White peach, orange pith, gooseberry, and apricot drive the aromas of this wine, which are echoed by Meyer lemon, strawberry leaf, elderflower, and orange blossom on the palate. The acidity is well balanced and the texture prolongs the presence on the palate, leaving a feeling of freshness and energy. The wine is layered with flavor, but no single note demands the spotlight, instead they all operate in beautiful harmony.

Winemaker Notes
We ferment our rosé in multiple small lots, utilizing different extraction and fermentation methods on each, providing for the greatest expression of our estate vineyard. In 2023, we made a few notable changes, adding more early-picked Malbec to the blend, with skin contact Merlot to drive additional color and depth. We chose to direct-press the Malbec to capture bright acidity and fresh stone fruit aromas. The inclusion of Cabernet Franc provides the herbal and savory notes that have always played a supporting role in this wine. Overall, this vintage has a bit more brightness to it, coming from the cool evenings and very dry season, as well as a more delicate color. The citrus tones play a leading role, edging the berry character to the side, just a bit, and this wine reflects our classic style - fresh, energetic and thirst quenching.
