2021 Rosé
This wine is such a warm, kind, big smile type of hello. The kind that makes you want to hug a complete stranger. Incredibly aromatic and mineral, with notes of fresh grapefruit, honeysuckle, key lime, pear, and a sprinkle of sea salt.
Pair with a shaved fennel and blood orange endive salad, cauliflower couscous, or a vacation.

Vineyard notes
This block was particularly grateful for the long and cool growing season of 2021. There were no significant heat waves during the low rain year, which allowed for beautiful, concentrated flavor development. To capture the best characters of the fruit, we made several harvest passes to ensure we picked each cluster at its peak.
Production notes
All the fruit was harvested in the cool of early morning, and very gently whole cluster pressed. The pale salmon colored juice was naturally cold settled then racked to French oak barrels. After a few days fermentation began without the addition of commercial yeast. The finished wine matured in oak for several months until it was ready for blending and bottling in the spring of 2022.
