2010 Scaggs Vineyard Rosé (500 ml.bottle/ 3 pack)

$75.00

A section of the grenache bloc is dedicated to make Scaggs Vineyard rosé, in a corner of the vineyard where the fruit tends to ripen later. The vines are allowed to carry a heavier crop, opting for quantity and enhanced, bright, acidic qualities, rather than for the ripeness and concentration befitting the red. The rosé is vinified using a “whole cluster” method, as opposed to the more typical saignee method (where the rosé is a byproduct of the larger red wine production.) Whole cluster pressing involves a gentle crush and controlled contact with the skins and seeds. The result is a more aromatic and elegant wine with a better balance and longevity, as well as the delicate salmon color of Provencal rosés.

Tasting Notes

Compellingly forward aromas of rose petals, raspberry, jasmine, hints of orange zest, melon, and bayleaf with robust strawberry, papaya and a touch of pink grapefruit on the palate. Crisp and dry in style. The finish is clean and nicely stretched by its refreshing acidity. Beautiful pale salmon color.
