2009 Rose of Grenache & Syrah

We crafted this "petit bijou" in the style of a "Tavel" Rosé, using two traditional Rhone varietals we grow on our Estate Vineyards. Grenache is the main grape in this blend accounting for 67% of the blend, Syrah making up the remaining 33%.  Grenache is a grape that yields soft, lightly colored yet full wines endowed with deep notes of juicy strawberries, red raspberries and Rainier Cherries. The Syrah adds an additional layer of ripe berry and grape flavors while also providing additional structure and body. This crisp Rosé is the perfect accouterment to a hot summer's day.
