Overview
Brilliant pale pink salmon hue, with effusive rose petal, hibiscus, and cherry blossom aromas. Signature peach and citrus tones, with lemon zest and Cara cara orange commingling with strawberry, apricot, and nectarine flavors. Nice fullness on the front and mid-palate as the acidity hits mostly on the back of the palate, adding refreshing length to the finish. This Rosé is fresh, vivacious, and delicious. 2023 GROWING SEASON: Favorable conditions at the start of the growing season in Anderson Valley were followed by a very mild growing season that harkened back to earlier times. Following the cool early season, August warmth accelerated ripening. I am fortunate to grow grapes in such close proximity to the Pacific Ocean and its moderating influence. Pinot Noir grape yields were typical and quality was excellent in 2023, a vintage that will be fondly remembered for years.
