Description:
Rosé by its very name implies a delicate alluring quality. Our 2004 Rosé of Carignane reflects this quality with its gorgeous light cherry color and aromas of freshly-crushed berries with a touch of floral.
Crisp, dry and refreshing, with a smooth, rich mouthfeel that shows off the delicate flavors of bright red berries and fresh cut watermelon. Ideal for summer fun and food pairings—like a seared ahi appetizer or pasta salad with smoked chicken and raspberries—this Rosé will be the perfect fit.

Varietal Definition
Carignane:
Carignane is one of the world’s most prolific wine varieties. Thriving in warm climates, Carignane was until the late 1970s, the most widely-planted red variety in California. Hailing from Aragon, Spain, this grape is capable of deeply-colored, extracted and tannic wines of considerable alcohol. It is a late-budder and does not ripen until late in the season. Highly prone to mildew disease, it requires long, dry growing conditions. It is often used as a blending component with other, more anemic, hot-climate varieties, like Grenache and Cinsault, which typically lack the deep pigment and extract which Carignane brings to the blend.
