“After a long wet and cold winter, a sip of our Dry Rosé brings on the sun and fun. It is the perfect wine for hanging out with friends, for all of the foods of spring and summer and for a swing in the vineyard hammock. I am always delighted to release our Rosé every year because I know, for our fans, it means pleasant times are ahead!”

Our 2022 Dry Rosé’s aromatics correspond with its pleasing signature cameo-pink color. Honeysuckle fragrance, juicy pear and candy corn essence fills the glass. Flavors of a crisp fuji apple and honeydew melon mingle with a slight minerality while the wine finishes with succulent sweet peach across the palate.

The 2022 vintage was in a drought year with generally warm conditions from bud-break through harvest. A heat spike in mid-September really had other Sonoma County region’s vintners scrambling to protect fruit on the vine. The beauty of the Carneros region from which we source Pinot Noir for our Rosé, is its proximity to the San Francisco Bay. There, a daily marine layer cools the region and mitigates overly warm temperatures. Though the yield was a bit lighter than the previous harvest, the Pinot Noir fruit was picked at optimal condition for our Rosé.

For our Dry Rosé, we use the fresh juice directly from the pressing of Pinot Noir grown for Champagne style wines. Because our fruit is picked at low sugars the resulting wine is lower in alcohol, juicy and vibrant. Assuring its freshness, the press juice is fermented at a cold temperature in stainless steel tanks prior to bottling. A true French-style Rosé, bone dry and elegant.

We’ve selected the Carneros region in Sonoma County as the source for the Pinot Noir fruit used to make our Dry Rosé. Near the San Francisco Bay the region benefits from maritime climate with frequent fog insuring a gentle ripening of this legendarily fastidious grape variety.
