Tasting Notes
Pale in the extreme, our 2021 Dry Rosé will surprise you with its robust body and sapid flavor! The complexity of the nose is astounding: a tart cranberry tang and a juicy strawberry facet both tango with an enchanting savory aspect. Fresh, crisp, and succulent, a crescendo of snappy and ambrosial flavors caresses your taste buds. Think strawberry-rhubarb pie! The finish too is a study in contrasts – honey and tart apple, zippy yet silky and it lasts and lasts and lasts. Make sure you’re ready for picnics and days on the dock!

Vintage Notes
Winter of 2021 gave us some surprisingly warm days and just enough snow to be protective when the temperatures dipped low. Early spring was lovely - sunny and mostly dry with undisturbed flowering and fruit set. Beginning in June, the summer rains arrived and persisted through August. Once into September and more so in October, we were blessed with warm and dry weather, allowing us to round out our harvest season in good conditions. The abundant moisture during the summer months resulted in a smaller crop but yielded very fruit-driven and expressive reds and sparkling and bright and refreshing whites and rosés.
