Sandar And Hem Rose Of Grenache "BATES RANCH" Santa Cruz Mountains 750mL
Vintage: | 2021 |
---|---|
Description: | Perched high atop the southeast corner of the Santa Cruz Mountains AVA, the steep slopes and shallow, gravelly soils of Bates Ranch have yielded stunning wines of great complexity for over four decades. At elevations up to 1000 feet, only a thin sheet of rocky earth separates the old Grenache vines from solid bedrock, where the roots have secured an unrelenting hold, producing wines with an intense aromatic complexity, freshness, and a profound sense of "somewhereness". Entirely fermented in stainless steel to retain freshness and vibrancy, only 150 cases were produced ! Alpine strawberry, peach blossom, and garrigue define the nose of this pale-salmon Rose. The nose is exuberant with the characteristic fireworks of Grenache, accented by dried herbs and wet stones. On the palate the wine is dry, balancing crisp, mouthwatering structure with luxurious weight and texture. The complex fruit character and long mineral finish of this wine hint at the pedigree of it's Provenance. |
