This Rosé is another wine that will inspire those who are part of the almost cult like group that waits patiently every year for our Rosé. The 2024 is our Winemaker, James's first Rosé; the wine has created as much excitement with the staff as it will with the guests. The wine which was elevaged in steel has a unique softness from nose to finish.  On the nose we experience a unique blend of cranberry and rhubarb with a touch of melon. There is a whimsical quality that is reminiscent of the orange circus peanuts we enjoyed as children.  On the palate the cranberry carries through and we get a hint of lime zest and a creamy texture not unlike what we might experience with a creamsicle.  On the finish there is a delicate hint of savory and touch of salinity, and the lovely creaminess lingers.  

This wine is 55% Merlot, 25% Cabernet Franc, 20% Cabernet Sauvignon. The wine was fermented in stainless steel and elevaged for 4 months in steel.  The fruit was harvested starting on August 23, 2024 through September 4, 2024. The Merlot and some of the Cabernet Sauvignon were field blended and fermented together. The saignée method was used for the remainder of the Cabernet Sauvignon and blended, like the Cabernet Franc just before bottling. 

We most often think of pairing this wine with salads that might feature peach or melon. This wine will pair beautifully with a wide variety of food – seafood, braised dishes, grilled meats and vegetables, as well as pasta.  Try a grilled pork tenderloin wrapped in prosciutto! Serve this wine chilled at 55° - 56°. Enjoy this wine now through 2028.
