Vineyard:
This 2024 Rose was sourced from Coyote Ranch Vineyard in Corrolaitos. Coyote Ranch has a two acre block of Pinot Noir consisting of 115, 828, and swan clone. The vines were planted by Ken Swegles in 2016 and are located on the ocean side of the Santa Cruz Mountains, exposing it to maritime winds and plenty of fog during the growing season. The soils are fairly rich clay loam, sandstone and siltstone based. This is one of our coldest Pinot Noir sites and retains exceptional acidity and freshness
Winemaking:
Harvested September 17th, we chose to pick 1.5 tons of the 828 clone for this rose. Picked at 18.5 brix to promote minerality and freshness. After a light pigéage we pressed gently, fermented this in stainless steel and aged 6 months on the lees before racking and bottling. 12% ABV, 87 cases produced.
Tasting Notes:
Satsuma, tangerine, and blood orange meet alpine strawberry and a hint of nectarine. There’s a subtle salinity wound up among energetic freshness. If California poppies had a scent, it might be something like this. Best enjoyed with salty chips, a warm afternoon, and nowhere to be.
