Jason on this wine: “Last year’s fires forced us to be creative and to move fast. By early September there was already a high potential of smoke taint for most vineyards in Northern California. We approached our classic dry-farmed vineyards with a lighter touch for a deeper style rose.”
Vineyard: Redwood Valley // Anderson Valley // Mendocino
Grapes: 25% Carignan, 50% Petite Sirah, 25% Gewurztraminer
Making of: the Carignan and Petite Sirah co-fermented for five days on the skins and were then gently pressed into older French barrels. The coastal Gewurztraminer was blended in the following spring.
Personality: peak summer flavors of ripe peaches and blackberries. Drink chilled.
