Clos Saron Rose "Tickled Pink" 2013

A co-fermentation of Syrah/Graciano/Verdelho, this is our first rose to have been fermented on some skins & stems (to give it a tannic backbone), and then aged in barrel for 18 months before bottling. It is immediately fascinating in its subtlety and aromatic intricacy, and seems to possess an unusual aging potential.

The grapes for this wine were grown by Markus Bokisch in low rolling hills east of Galt, California. The soil is decomposed granite, washed down from the Sierra Mountains.
