About This Wine
"The 2018 Rosellas has the classic blue fruit profile focused by energetic - almost electric - acidity, streamlining the long, luscious finish." - Matt Revelette, Winemaker
Wonderfully high-toned and pure on the nose, the 2018 Rosellas displays bright cherry, macerated strawberry, pomegranate and subtle hints of sage. The delicate mouthfeel of the wine has a seamless interplay of tannin and acid, holding the bright fruit notes through the finish. A wine that has the signature Rosella’s notes of graceful tannins and racy acidity, this is a Pinot Noir that showcases the windswept northern Santa Lucia Highlands and meticulous viticulture that makes the fruit shine so brightly. The brightness of this wine is incredibly difficult to resist.
