Somm Note

Winemaker Notes

The flavors are fruit-focused, concentrated and long. Grenache-driven strawberry and raspberry are complemented by notes of grapefruit, cranberry and watermelon. These flavors lead into a seamless palate where acid and alcohol are soft and integrated to provide a refreshing, easy drinking balance. Mid-palate is uncommonly layered and complex for a New World Rosé. There is a sense of “unfolding” as you enjoy the wine. While irresistible in spring and summer, this refreshing Rosé delightfully pairs with couture at any gathering throughout the year and will age beautifully for 3 to 5 years after harvest.

Professional Ratings

  • 91
    The producer sources certified Biodynamic grapes for this refreshing combination of 55% Grenache, 20% Mourvèdre, 10% Syrah, 10% Counoise and 5% Petite Sirah. Fragrantly floral and plummy, the wine has lingering acidity lifting flavors of watermelon and cherry.

    No simple poolside sipper, this is a rose for food, broad and powerful, with the exotic brightness of pink guava. Made mostly of grenache and mourvedre, it's savory and complex, lasting on a dusty, herbal scent that will match grilled fish.

Quivira Vineyards, California
Quivira Vineyards Winery Video

Family owned since its founding in 1981, proprietors Pete and Terri Kight were drawn to the estate's natural beauty and unspoiled rural character. With 63 acres of vines planted at Wine Creek Ranch, and another 26 at two sites close by, today Quivira Vineyards is a leading producer of Zinfandel, Sauvignon Blanc and Rhône varieties, with a reputation for intentional winegrowing and a thoughtful commitment to organic farming.

Quivira’s environmental stewardship has been all-encompassing. Beginning in 1998, we partnered with conservation agencies in restoring Wine Creek and Dry Creek for their native Steelhead and Coho populations. We keep beehives to promote pollination of our garden’s genetically diverse produce varieties and raise animals to provide fertilization material. It is our philosophy that the vines are only as healthy as the entire ranch therefore we farm holistically and sustainably, and further our commitment with each vintage.

Whether it’s playful and fun or savory and serious, most rosé today is not your grandmother’s White Zinfandel, though that category remains strong. Pink wine has recently become quite trendy, and this time around it’s commonly quite dry. Since the pigment in red wines comes from keeping fermenting juice in contact with the grape skins for an extended period, it follows that a pink wine can be made using just a brief period of skin contact—usually just a couple of days. The resulting color depends on grape variety and winemaking style, ranging from pale salmon to deep magenta.

Dry Creek Valley Wine

Sonoma County, California

A multifaceted and highly reputable sub-region of Sonoma, Dry Creek Valley is responsible for a wide range of wine styles—both red and white. One of the smallest AVAs in California, Dry Creek Valley has a winning combination of ideal geography and climate. Fertile, well-drained soils create concentrated varietal character while long, warm days, bookended by cool nights, allow grapes to reach full phenolic ripeness and balance. The warm and welcoming appellation is home to a number of family-owned vineyards and wineries that place a strong emphasis on sustainable farming practices.

Zinfandel reigns supreme here and still produces in a great number of very old vineyards—often 100 years old or older. These old vines create a powerful, voluptuous and sultry wine unlike those of any other region. Sauvignon Blanc, the valley’s signature white grape, also performs exceptionally well. Many other varieties grow comfortably here, including Cabernet Sauvignon, Grenache and Syrah. Petite Sirah is often found in blends with Zinfandel.
