| Winemaker’s Notes: |
Our 2007 GSM Rosé blends the three classic varieties of the Southern Rhône Valley: Grenache, Syrah and Mourvèdre. Produced by draining free run juice from the crushed black grapes - a technique the French call saigneé - this full-bodied dry rosé boasts a brilliantly vivid, fruit-basket aroma of fresh-picked raspberries, strawberries and red cherries, with added zest from a savory, cracked pepper spiciness. On the full-bodied palate, the wine's spicy, red-fruit flavors are further enlivened by crisp acidity and a pronounced streak of minerality in the long, refreshing finish.
