In 2011 we selected precise vineyard blocks for red grapes that would be used specifically for this wine. After a long cool growing season, we harvested (with field sorting as always) Grenache and Mourvedre and whole cluster pressed the grapes over a long slow press cycle to provide just the right amount of skin contact while gently extracting maximum flavors. We added 5% Syrah, which had been bled off the Syrah fermenters, for additional complexity and body. We think this is the best Rosé we have made to date (the competition is fierce), as the juiciness of the Grenache and the complex, wild red fruits and orange zest of the Mourvedre work perfectly together in 2011. Aromas of raspberries, strawberries and orange peel, with a touch of sweet fresh herbs. On the pal¬ate, the wine delivers exuberant, fresh, red fruits, citrus and glycerin, complicated by cranberry notes. the wine has a lively, expressive texture followed by a lip-smacking, palate-cleansing acidity which delivers fine length and complexity (Winemakers Notes)
