2022 Walla Walla Sangiovese Rose
The Sangiovese is lively and bright and has flavors of bright rainier cherry, notes of earth and dried herbs. fresh acidity, and hints of rose water and minerality. It is PINKALICIOUS!
Brilliant salmon orange-red hue reflecting the intensity of the fruit. Deep and intense aromas of rainier cherries, ripe strawberries, wind blown dried herbs, beeswax, and red rose petals. The mouthfeel has moderate weight, reflecting the vintage. The acidity is very high but mid-palate provides an excellent counter-balance. Flavors are in the cherry and strawberry spectrum with bright intensity on the palate.. It is PINKALICIOUS!
Blue Mountain Vineyard Sangiovese was hand harvested on October 14. Sangiovese is a late to ripen grape but harvest was three weeks later than normal. All the grapes were destemmed and immediately pressed to tank to maximize freshness. The juice was fermented with GRE yeast at 70 F for three weeks. We left just a hint of residual sugar to balance the acidity in the Sangiovese. The Rose rested on the lees through cold stabilization. It was filtered and bottled on January 26, 2023.
