Scaggs Vineyard Rosé

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.

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

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.
