2023 North Coast Saignee Rose

About the Wine: The North Coast AVA encompasses many small wine appellations spanning over six counties located north of San Francisco, including Napa & Sonoma. Our Saignée Rose is made up of fruit from several different smaller AVAs, including Knights Valley, Alexander Valley and Chalk Hill, so identifying with the larger North Coast AVA is perfect for this blend. This Rose is made in the Saignée style, which translates to “to bleed” in French. This is when you “bleed” off a portion of the red wine juice after it’s been in contact with the skins & seeds. We made this Rose from multiple red wines, including our tempranillo and all the Bordeaux varieties. We fermented the juice in a stainless steel tank before aging half in French Oak and half in stainless steel. The oak adds a little body & texture contributing to the round mouthfeel. The finished wine was bottled in May 2024. Our Rose is a part of our Pay it Forward series, where we donate a portion of the proceeds to an organization! 

Tasting Notes: Medium-bodied with a round and silky mouthfeel. Flavors of ripe strawberries, juicy raspberries, and a hint of red cherry dominate the palate. There is a subtle sweetness balanced by refreshing acidity, enhancing the fruit-forward character of the wine.

Food Pairings: Light salads, pastas & rice dishes, especially with seafood! We particularly love this Rose with a French picnic spread, including goats cheese, gouda, prosciutto, grapes & honey.
