2021 Group Improv (Rose)

"The 2021 Rose Group Improv wafts up more like a spiced herbal tea than wine, with wild strawberry, chamomile and mint forming its bouquet. This is silky smooth and pliant with ripe red fruits and sweet inner herbal tones. It finishes on candied citrus notes and is remarkably fresh. Very nice and with excellent balance. The Group Improv is an equal parts blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Malbec, Merlot, Petite Sirah, Pinot Noir, Primitivo, and Cabernet Franc." – Eric Guido Vinous Media

Each year’s Rosé is unique; like a solo, it’s different every time. Our 2021 blend is a beautiful, peachy rose-pink, the deeper color attributable to twenty-four hours of skin contact. This harmonious vintage feature equal amounts of Cabernet Sauvignon, Malbec, Merlot, Petite Sirah, Pinot Noir, Primitivo, and Cabernet Franc. Each variety is fermented separately and blended after fermentation is complete, just before bottling. In the resulting ensemble, each member rises and simultaneously embellishes the melody, a style known as group improvisation. You’ll note bright acidity with tastes of ripe strawberries, raspberries, and grapefruit. It ends with a dry finish and a hint of chocolate. Would pair well with scallops, white fish, pork loin, black forest cake or brownies.
