2018 Small VinesRussian River Valley Rose of Pinot Noir

Description

Winery Notes:

From obsessively tended vines in all Five of our outstanding Estate vineyards, this
Rosé of Pinot Noir is made intentionally from specific regions of the vineyards.
These small lots are selected by hand to be harvested slightly less ripe than their
Pinot Noir neighbors.
Made to age, 50% of the fruit is destemmed and cold soaked for 8 hrs. The
remaining whole clusters are then added to the destemmed fruit and pressed off.
The juice is fermented with native yeasts in neutral oak barrels. When dry it is
aged in Stainless for 3 months. This Rosé is elegantly made in the same style as a
base wine for Champagne- and delightfully compliments a large array of menus. It
is bright, crisp, complex, completely dry and unbelievably refreshing.
