Tasting Notes

Is there a more “in-the-moment” wine than Rose? Not even close. It’s arrives with the announcement that things are getting better “right now!” Just the mere color suggests you’re right on the cusp of sunnier, happier days. How great is that?

True to form, EK Rose is here to bring immediate joy while maintaining a certain sense of dignity — it is a proper bottle of wine after all! Our uncommon blend of Pinot Noir, Grenache and a skosh of Syrah is deeply flavored and structured enough so that after the gorgeous watermelon, cherry, strawberry and spice elements set the hook, you’re in for a long, satisfying ride to the perfectly dry, lingering finish.

As we say every year, way more work goes into this wine than you’d think. It takes many micro fermentations and plenty of blending magic to get us across the pink finish line.

Fruit was painfully scarce in 2020, so there’s even less to go around than last year. We left the allocations open to three cases so you can stock up early, but supply is doubtful to last past mid spring. Something tells us rosé will be a true necessity this year.
