The perfect springtime rosé on sale this weekend
Lots were destemmed and crushed, with native yeast fermentations. After pressing at dryness, the wine was aged for 20 months in French oak, 10% new, before being given a light filtration at bottling. The wine is medium bodied and moderate in tannin, with some beautiful suppleness to the mid-palate that reflects the moderate summer, accompanied by a touch of extra richness from the hot autumn weather.
The Blend:
90% Cabernet Sauvignon
10% Cabernet Franc
34% Red Barn vineyard, Rutherford
40% Chevez-Leeds vineyard, Rutherford
26% Williams-Rossi vineyard, Rutherford
Decanter Review:
From the iconic Frog's Leap winery's dry-farmed estate in Rutherford, aged 20 months in 5-year-old oak barrels. Absolutely beautiful aromas of dried thyme, sage, fennel, spearmint, and savoury black olive notes. Medium-bodied with the rustic, dusty tannins you'd expect from these Rutherford vines with a harmonious display of brambly cranberry, raspberry, and black cherry laced with vanilla and tobacco spices. Just lovely.
