Yes, this is a pink party wine—but it’s a classy pink party wine. Big red fruit and hibiscus, packed with acid and minerality and a bone-dry finish. This is a rosé you want to bring home to meet your parents. It deserves to be drunk alongside imported tinned fish, artisanal baguettes, and plenty of salted butter. If this rosé could talk, it would have a lilting French accent and quote Godard.

Winemaking: The Carignan for this wine was whole-cluster-pressed as soon as the fruit was received at the winery. The Zinfandel was destemmed as soon as it got to the winery, after which, it was added to the press as whole bunches. 10ppm sulfur added and after 24 hours of settling the wines, the wine was racked for native primary fermentation. Once these lots had fermented to dryness, they were combined into one tank for storage on their lees until bottling at cool temperatures to discourage malo-lactic fermentation, but it went through anyway. Close to the bottling date, the wine was lightly filtered and a small amount of sulfur was added (total SO2 24ppm).
