Tasting Notes:
Light salmon pink. Aromas of strawberry carry through to the flavor with added cherry, plum
and spice. Off dry, yet crisp finish.
Grape:
A rare delicious Rhone variety. This wine is 100 % Cinsaut, 100% grown in the Dry Creek Valley,
Sonoma County. This is the grape commonly used to make Tavel Rose’
Vineyard:
Small block of cinsaut planted for me 14 years old. Located in a cooler section of
Dry Creek Valley in the town of Healdsburg.
The Wine:
Light strawberry and red cherry fruit character, spice on the finish.
Cinsaut makes
a pleasant rose because of it has light tannins and forward fruit. The wine is fun and perfect
for summer fare. The complexity and abundance of fruit is the wonderful character of the
wine. Drink now to 2011.
Only 70 cases made.
Serve with:
roast turkey, fresh strawberries and teleme cheese, chicken, clam bake, grilled summer
squash, hummus, grilled salmon, oysters. Mediterranean French, Italian Cuisine and Moroccan cuisine.
