Product Info

TASTING NOTE:

Light, glistening orange. Highly perfumed red berry and citrus fruit and floral scents carry a spicy overtone that gains strength with air. Intense cherry and tangerine flavors show fine definition and depth, and a core of minerality conveys vivacity and back-end thrust. Finishes long and seamless, with a lingering red fruit quality and a touch of succulent herbs. Drinking window: 2021 - 2022

WINEMAKER'S NOTE:

Shimmering with a pale salmon hue as it splashes into the glass, the 2020 Lucy Rosé is brilliance captured in a bottle. Pronounced aromas of macerated strawberry, fresh watermelon and nectarine give way to hints of refreshing sea air, as if transporting the senses directly to the windswept hillsides of the Santa Lucia Highlands. On the palate, classic notes of peach, fresh citrus and bright red fruit speak to the minimal skin contact and gentle extraction of delicate flavors coaxed from each berry during careful pressing and a slow fermentation. When balanced with the added volume and texture from neutral oak barrel aging, the crisp, mouthwatering acidity on display awakens the palate, as this wine begs to be the refill of your next empty glass.
