2019 Rosé of Syrah
As fun as a day at the beach and as fresh as the ocean air. Such a great way start to a Vineyard Picnic or Safari Wine Adventure. A beautiful shade of color only Mother Nature could have created. Bright, crisp flavors of watermelon and rhubarb with a long, racy finish. Delicious paired with spicy Thai food, BBQ or sushi.

Wine Profile
Tasting Notes
Lively, vivid aromas of fresh wild strawberry and hibiscus tea. Firm acidity on the palate, with a long, racy finish. Pairs very well with poultry and pork
Vineyard Notes
The Lester Family Vineyard sits at 500’ elevation in Corralitos’ Pleasant Valley, just four miles from Monterey Bay. The marine-influenced climate and loamy soils, rich with calcium carbonate from ancient sea beds, lends itself to wines that showcase a slightly richer fruit profile and a highly-sought-after minerality, a signature of cool-climate Syrah.
