Dragonette Cellars Happy Canyon of Santa Barbara Rosé Blend 2011

We're such fanatics for Dragonette's red Grenache that it seemed prudent to request a bit of their luscious rose! 70% Grenache and 27% Mourvedre from Vogelzang vineyard, hand harvested specifically for the rose, plus a 3% splash of Syrah from Stolpman and John Sebastiano vineyards, whole cluster pressed to neutral French barrels for 5 months. The result is juicy and exhilarating, with watermelon, tart Rainier cherries, and blood orange on the nose and flavors of wild strawberry, ripe musky peaches, tart cranberry, spicy citrus, and a hint of salt and stone.
