Preparing for Mother's Day while bottling our Rosé of Syrah

We are gearing up for our Second Annual Mother's Day brunch and we are excited about the hum and pace at the winery. We bottled our Rose of Syrah about 6 weeks ago and just had a small tasting to craft our first tasting notes. This is always a fun time for all of us a the winery. Here are some of our first comments on the Rose!  I think we were having way to much fun! 

1.  “spicy watermelon flavors rides the aromas of red roses and pink cotton candy.  We set aside a part of our vineyard for this wine each year, picking just a little early in order to preserve delicate fruit and clean minerals.  in fact, the flavor is so good that we challenge our members to enjoy it warm or cold!  REALLY!  We’re not kidding.

2.  the earliest red block of our vineyard to be picked, it’s balanced, dry and yet fruity.  Get ready for a combo of rose petals and spicy watermelon.  this is the delicate sister to our rich Rotie, both made from syrah.

3.  think of watermelon.  now add a little subtle hint of cinnamon and all-spice.  Our rose’ is a sassy southern belle of syrah, decked in soft salmon silk, made possible by a perfect block of our vineyard that we pick amongst the first grapes each season.
