Alexander Valley Vineyards Dry Rose of Sangiovese

Alexander Valley Vineyards Dry Rose of Sangiovese 2012

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate

"Alexander Valley Vineyards has fashioned one of the finest dry rosés I have ever tasted from California…similar to a French Tavel..."

Producer Notes:

"We farm a small Sangiovese vineyard exclusively for this rosé and prune heavily to promote even ripening while maintaining acidity and minerality in the grapes. We leave the juice in contact with the skins for a few hours ot achieve the perfect pink hue, then cold ferment in stainless steel to maintain the bright flavors. Our dry rosé of Sangiovese jumps out of the glass with intense aromatics and is rich and full bodied with big flavors of strawberry, watermelon, raspberry and mint. The Wetzel Family Estate, located on the property settled in the 1840s by Alexander Valley namesake Cyrus Alexander, showcases the history, tradition and excellence of the region."
