COMMENTARY: The 2019 FitVine Rosé is bright and pleasing with plenty of richness. TASTING NOTES: This wine offers aromas and flavors of candied and tart cherries. Enjoy its smoothness with an unagi and avocado roll. (Tasted: June 13, 2021, San Francisco, CA)
In 2015, two friends who adored wine, but weren't exactly sommeliers, had a brainwave. They saw a gap in market for wines that could jive with active, vibrant lives like yours. So, armed with an entrepreneurial spirit and a thirst for fun, they birthed FitVine.
FitVine isn't just a wine. It's a revolution, a fun and audacious answer to the call of all of you who want to raise a glass without sacrificing your hard-earned gains at the gym. Sugar? Nah, don't need it. Sulfites and tannins? Keep 'em low like your last set of reps. Flavor? Oh, it's there alright, strutting its stuff like a runway model at a vino fashion show.
At FitVine they believe less is more except when it comes to great taste! They also believe you should know what's in each glass of wine you drink—from sugar content to calories and everything in between so you can make the best choice for you.
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.
Responsible for the vast majority of American wine production, if California were a country, it would be the world’s fourth largest wine-producing nation. The state’s diverse terrain and microclimates allow for an incredible range of red wine styles, and unlike tradition-bound Europe, experimentation is more than welcome here. California wineries range from tiny, family-owned boutiques to massive corporations, and price and production are equally varied. Plenty of inexpensive bulk wine is made in the Central Valley area, while Napa Valley is responsible for some of the world’s most prestigious and expensive “cult” wines.
Each American Viticultural Area (AVA) and sub-AVA of has its own distinct personality, allowing California to produce red wine of every fashion: from bone dry to unctuously sweet, still to sparkling, light and fresh to rich and full-bodied. In the Napa Valley, Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Chardonnay and Sauvignon Blanc dominate vineyard acreage. Sonoma County is best known for Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, Cabernet Sauvignon, Rosé and Zinfandel. The Central Coast has carved out a niche with Rhône Blends based on Grenache and Syrah, while Mendocino has found success with cool climate varieties such as Pinot noir, Riesling and Gewürztraminer. With all the diversity that California wine has to offer, any wine lover will find something to get excited about here.
