Somm Note

Winemaker Notes

A lively nose, brimming with bright berry and tropical fruit. Soft and luscious, this refreshing Rosé is richly fruited with hints of watermelon, strawberry, and melon.

Ideal as an apéritif or summer sipper, this easy-drinking wine also pairs perfectly with lighter salads and other fares.

Professional Ratings

    A Merlotbased rosé with high-toned acidity and aromas of bright fruit. Watermelon and strawberry meet wet stone in the middle, cleaning the palate with each sip.

    COMMENTARY: The 2018 Kim Crawford is a beautiful pink wine. TASTING NOTES: This is fresh, bright, and easy. Its pretty aromas and flavors of red fruit and earth should pair it perfectly with salmon sashimi. (Tasted: August 1, 2019, San Francisco, CA)

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.

An eclectic region on the east coast of the North Island, Hawkes Bay extends from wide, fertile, coastal plains, inland, to the coast range, whose peaks reach as high as 5,300 feet. While the flatter areas were historically more popular because they are easier to cultivate, their alluvial soils can be too fertile for vines. In the late 20th century, the drive for quality led growers to the hills where soils are free-draining, limestone-rich and more suited to producing high quality wines.

Over the passing of time, the old Ngaruroro River laid down deep, gravelly beds, which were subsequently exposed after a huge flood in the 1860’s. In the 1980s growers identified this stretch, which continues for approximately 800 ha, and named it the Gimblett Gravels. The zone has proven to be ideal for the production of excellent red wines, particularly Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Syrah.

Today the area takes well-earned recognition for its Bordeaux blends and other reds. Expressive of intense stewed red and black berry with gentle herbaceous characters, Gimblett Gravels wines are suggestive of their cool climate origin, and on par with other top-notch Bordeaux blends around the globe.

Chardonnay is the top white grape in Hawkes Bay, making elegant wines, strong in stone fruit character. Sauvignon blanc comes in close behind, notable for its tropical, fruit forward qualities.
