2008 Rose'ary • Mendocino

The Wine
Our 2008 Rose'ary is the Saignée from some of our favorite old vine red varietals. It's aromatics of cinnamon toast and strawberry preserves remind us of the warm summer days we get in Northern California. The robust mid-palate is followed by a lingering finish. Enjoy this wine with a grilled salmon and fresh summer vegetables.

The Winemaking
We've taken the Saignée from our red varietals and blended with 17% Sauvignon Blanc to come up with this light and refreshing wine. It was 26% barrel fermented in used oak, 74% tank fermented at very low temperatures of 49°F to maximize fruit expression.

The Vineyard
We gathered 50% Saignée from our "old vines" along with 25% carignane Saignée from our vineyards in Mendocino. From Napa, 8% cabernet sauvignon and 17% sauvignon blanc.
