' Pech Merle - The Wine

2015 Sonoma County Ivy Rose de Syrah

This Rose is delightful and charismatic. The gorgeous nose of strawberry jam, kiwi, candied watermelon, hint of cotton candy and tangy cherry perfectly compliment the beautifully dry and balanced body.

Vineyard Notes

With the fourth year of the drought rolling in, the bloom came early. Less fruit was the common theme in 2015 across Sonoma County, though what the crops did produce were noteworthy grapes full of flavor and excellence. The Syrah, a Tablas Creek clone and the Zinfandel, a Deaver clone, together find a perfect balance of crisp, ripe fruit and subtle cotton candy. Set in the eastern ridge of Dry Creek Valley this vineyard has time and time again provided a phenomenal crop.

Production Notes

Using 100% stainless steel and a 21 day cold ferment at 52°F creates a refreshing and inviting profile for this wine.
