Winemaker Notes

This 2024 Rosé of Syrah offers aromas of bright strawberry, white peach, orange peel, green apple and grapefruit. The palate delivers flavors of gummy bears, strawberries and cream, blood orange and mandarin, with a lively minerality and a full, glossy mouthfeel that lingers with refreshing elegance.

Production

Harvest 2024 began with a record-setting freeze in January, but fortunately, many of the sites sourced experienced minimal damage. A cool, wet spring delayed bud break, but a warm summer allowed the vines to catch up quickly, with significant heat in July and August encouraging rapid ripening. A brief cold snap in September extended the ripening window, allowing complexities to develop, and perfect October conditions provided the warmth needed for optimal ripening. The season closely mirrored the historical 10-year average, allowing for precise timing in the vineyard and smooth winery operations. The result is vintage of wine that is well-balanced with excellent fruit flavors, refined structure and complexity.
