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.

Gold Medal
Light pink in color with aromas of watermelon, cranberry, orange rind, and fresh spring flowers that leap from the glass. The palate offers more peach, strawberry, and melon, with an intriguing note of rose and hibiscus. It's crisp with just the perfect hint of red fruit, and delicate whisper of strawberry that gives goosebumps.
