2006 Small Lot Pinot Noir Rose
Wente Vineyards has been growing Pinot Noir in the Arroyo Seco region of Monterey since the 1960s. It is the ideal region to grow this Burgundian varietal because of the long, cool growing season, which allows the grapes to fully ripen and develop deep fruit flavors. The gravelly-loam soils found there, rich with shale and limestone deposits, impart desirable earthy and mineral qualities to the wine. Fermentation: The fermentation took place in small, upright, stainless steel fermenters. Aging: After fermentation, the wine was aged in neutral oak barrels for six months. Description: This lovely Rosé has undertones of strawberry and raspberry and a brilliant watermelon color. Its mouth-filling fruitiness and balanced acidity exceed traditional expectations of a dry Rosé. |
