Winemaking
Harvested from 100% Pinot Noir from Sonoma County. Made in a Saignée method which captures the essence of the fruit just after harvest. Fermented in neutral barrels, allowing this delicate grape to express its unique character.
Temperature
Serve rosé chilled between 45° and 50°F. Chill down for 2–3 hours, or put it in an ice bucket with ice and water at the table.
Glassware
Use a large stemmed glass with a short bowl and slight taper, and fill it to about one-third of its capacity and give it a swirl.
Enjoyment
Rosé is great solo by the glass and pairs well with many foods, including spicy dishes, savory sweet combinations, as well as spicy fish tacos, BBQ, or salads with jalapeño.

94 Point Vintage
Deep garnet core with an elegant ruby-brick rim—a striking sign of its library maturity. Aromas of black cherry, cassis, and macerated blackberry, seamlessly transitioning into sophisticated layers of cedar, graphite, crushed violet, and cured tobacco. A savory accent of bay laurel, cocoa nib, and warm earth adds impressive intrigue. The palate delivers dense dark fruit framed by velvety, melted tannins and vibrant acidity that keeps the wine lifted and fresh. Finishes long and seamlessly, lingering with espresso, black plum, aged leather, and a fine crushed-stone minerality.
