2023 ROSÉ

Wine Creek Ranch Dry Creek Valley

WINEMAKING NOTES
Each varietal was handpicked at perfect maturity for Rosé, giving us fruit that is intense in flavor, lower in alcohol, and with balanced acidity. Lots were cold soaked, pressed, and vinified separately. Cool fermentation, no malolactic and aging in both stainless steel and neutral barrels results in a pure, focused wine that perfectly reflects its terroir and varietal makeup. In 2023, our Petite Sirah really shined in the cellar, so its inclusion was increased, adding subtle yet bright darker fruit notes along with a beautiful violet-tinged color.

THE WINE
Star bright with a gorgeous pale salmon color that borders on rose gold. Aromas of cherry blossom and guava mix with river rock minerality and a hint of white pepper. In the mouth, guava flavors persist and are complimented by passion fruit, tart strawberry, pink grapefruit, and a touch of green herbs which are balanced by a bracing acidity.

Made with organically-grown grapes
