“This dry rosé is drawn from an old-vine Syrah vineyard in the heart of the Russian River Valley and is best enjoyed in its youth.” – David Ramey

Dry, crisp, and perfumed; pairs with a wide variety of foods and flavors.
vintage notes
2016 began with another very early bloom, leading to a very early harvest in Sonoma County; our first fruit arrived August 5. During maturation, summer temperatures were warm and steady, with fewer heat spikes than 2015. Three weeks of cool weather in August and September relaxed the pace of harvest, allowing for methodical picking decisions and perfectly developed fruit. Yields were relatively average – down from 2014 and up from 2015.
winemaking
Native yeast, non-malolactic fermentation and sur lies aged in stainless steel barrels for three months.
