2025 Rosé of Pinot NoirRussian River Valley

Tasting Notes
This vibrant Russian River Valley Rosé of Pinot Noir leaps from the glass with lifted aromatics of candied watermelon, lime blossom, and white peach. The palate reveals bright notes of fresh strawberry, creamy cantaloupe, and rose hip, supported by lively acidity and a refreshing, balanced texture. Elegant yet approachable, this rosé shows both energy and finesse, making it equally enjoyable on its own or alongside a wide range of dishes.

Aging and Refining
75% of the wine was fermented in stainless steel at 50°F to preserve freshness and aromatic precision, while the remaining 25% was fermented in neutral French oak to contribute subtle texture and complexity. The wine underwent partial malolactic fermentation and was aged on its lees for five months to enhance mouthfeel and integrate the components. It was then racked to tank and prepared for bottling.
