Winemaker Notes

A perfect pale pink color tinged with peach. On the nose, a sunburst of bright red berry fruit backed by firm mango. Riper notes of poached pear and caramel take center stage as the wine opens up, complimented with a tropical flare. In the mouth a milky softness rides through to a finishing zing. A subtle pop of freshness further lifts the back palate. Touches of peach linger above the bone dry finish.

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.

Accounting for only ten percent of the greater Santa Ynez AVA, Ballard Canyon’s north-south orientation provides an ideal pattern of sunshine and martime fog for producing excellent Syrah. While Syrah is planted to half of the total AVA acreage, an additional third is dedicated to other Rhône varieties, red and white.
