The 2024 Rosé has aromas reminiscent of strawberry, grapefruit, Mandarin orange, white peach along with delicate kiwi and floral hints. The fruit flavors lean towards ruby grapefruit and cranberry with a subtle mineral and refreshing acid component that brings complexity and a food-friendly character to the wine. Enjoy our Rosé at cellar temperature (54˚F) for maximum complexity or chilled on a hot summer day as an aperitif.

Vineyard & Vintage Character
Our 2024 Rosé of Pinot Noir is produced exclusively from our estate Fog Dance Vineyard planted to Dijon 115 in the Green Valley of the Russian River Valley AVA. The wine is produced by gently pressing Pinot Noir grapes to avoid extraction of any color from the skins. The wine has a beautiful light salmon hue and brighter fruit characteristics because of this delicate approach.
The juice was fermented in small stainless steel tanks at cold temperatures to maintain bright fruit characters, with a small amount of the juice finishing fermentation in seasoned French oak barrels for a touch of richness and complexity.
