Faux Pas Rose 2009
Upon making a faux pas, one may blush a bright pink, not unlike the color of this rose.
Our 2008 rose is a saignee of Pinot Noir cold fermented in stainless steel. 2% Pinot Blanc was blended into the wine to balance the Pinot's intense berry characters. With only a touch of residual sugar, this wine derives its richness from the fruit and remains refreshing to the palate.
The juice of Pinot Noir berries was allowed only fleeting contact with skins, resulting in a perfumed wine brimming with aromas of berries, cherries and peaches. A hint of sweetness restrained by bright acidity leads into a long, dry and refreshing finish.
