2021 VINTAGE
Vintage 2021 began with a warm spring and little rain. By the time midsummer was approaching it was clear that we were experiencing severe drought conditions, leading to fewer grape clusters on the vine. This resulted in lower yields with small berries that were packed with intense, lush flavor. Early ripening, sunny summer heat, and a lack of water were balanced out by a very welcomed cool fall season. The more temperate fall weather created the perfect conditions for our fruit to continue ripening steadily and allowed us to harvest at the optimal moment. Vintage 2021 will continue to be celebrated for its dense fruit, bold structure, and unforgettable complexity.
WINEMAKER NOTES
“This beautiful Rosé presents gorgeous blush tones in the glass and is bursting with aromas of strawberry and vanilla that invite the palate. These wonderful aromas are echoed in delicious flavors of strawberry and watermelon that lead to a cheerful, refreshing acidity and clean finish. This is an elegant, well-balanced wine best enjoyed on a warm day in the company of good friends.”
– Stephanie Pope, Winemaker
FOOD PAIRING SUGGESTIONS
“The wine pairs well with salty/sweet combinations like prosciutto, melon and Manchego cheese or fresh field greens with raspberry vinaigrette and feta cheese.”
– Chad Hendrickson, Executive Chef
