2009 La Cruz Vineyard Rosé

Our Rosé was made from fruit from blocks 1 and 2, which are our oldest Pinot Noir vines on the ranch. A few hours after the fruit was de-stemmed and transferred to tank, drained off the lightly colored juice into older barrels where it was fermented to dryness. This technique called soignée, a French term for bleed, is employed to concentrate the wine remaining in the tank. The added benefit is that it makes such a lovely, refreshing wine.

Nothing says Summer like a glass of chilled Rosé. Beautiful medium salmon-pink in color. Wonderful fresh fruit aromas of ripe cherries, strawberries and peach are complimented by rose petals, sweet spice and the clean mineral character commonly found in wines from our La Cruz Vineyard.
