2007 Le Mélange Rosé

Flavor Profile:
Our 2007 Le Mélange Rosé is a blend of Zinfandel, Cabernet Sauvignon, Syrah and Merlot. By removing free run juice from the grapes before crushing, we concentrate the remaining juice to make red wines with greater depth and intensity. The free run juice is then fermented to a dry finish, producing a beautiful rose colored wine with notes of wild strawberry and rhubarb. Served lightly chilled, this wine is springtime in a glass!
