Wine Profile
Tasting Notes
Bursting with aromas of tangerine, Rainier cherry, and strawberry, this dry rose is nicely balanced, with bright acidity and minerality.
Production Notes
Pinot Noir 72%, Pinot Meunier 28%
Winemaker Notes
The grapes were harvested by hand, sorted, and destemmed. After a four-day cold soak, the grapes were pressed. The juice settled overnight, and was racked to stainless for primary fermentation. After fermentation was complete, the wine was racked off the heavy lees and aged in stainless until bottling the following autumn. The wine aged in tirage bins until September 2018, and was disgorged and finished without dosage.
Food Pairing Notes
Serve ice cold with barbecue, rare beef, fresh red berries, soft cheeses, shellfish, rare lamb, pork, prosciutto, salmon, and smoked foods.
