What Does It Taste Like?
The The A to Z Rosé is a brilliant classic rosé color. Exuberant red fruit aromas burst from the glass when first poured: strawberries, raspberries, pomegranates, cranberries, pie cherries, red currants, rosewater and hibiscus. On the palate, the wine is bright, zippy and creamy all at once with a juicy explosion of flavors that linger and linger finally finishing crisp and leaving one wanting another sip. Pure enjoyment! A to Z Rosé is made with intention from grape to glass: single vineyard selection, specialized equipment and craft winemaking.

Winemaking Notes:
The 2010 A to Z Rose comes from Sangiovese grapes grown in Southern Oregon's Del Rio Vineyard located 36 miles north of the California border. The block is on a Southwest facing slope composed of large oval river rocks. Daytime temperatures in the summer can reach 100 degrees, while the nights always fall back to the 40s, perfect condition for bolder reds. Harvested just shy of peak ripeness to retain bright acidity and aromas as well as flavors of fresh red fruits, the grapes were destemmed, crushed and left to cold soak for two days. We pressed the grapes, settled the juice overnight and then racked to stainless steel tanks. Malolactic fermentation was blocked to retain brightness and juiciness.
