Tasting Notes
Wonderfully fresh and delightful, this elegant and graceful wine exceeds all expectations.
Our sixth DeRosa is the most beautiful to date. Opening with fresh citrus and notes of raspberry, the 2009 rosé celebrates the beginning of summer. Winemaker Roman Roth blended a barrel of our Sound Avenue Cabernet Sauvignon with Chardonnay from our 1983 planting. Add in some Gabby's Cabernet Franc, a solid Merlot base, and you have a winner! An excellent choice for alfresco dinning, but also the perfect companion to your Thanksgiving meal.
