Harvested on September 5\, when the skins just began to blush\, this wine boasts vibrant acidity and a pale\, inviting color. After brief skin contact to extract the perfect hue and flavor\, the juice was chill fermented to dryness\, retaining the freshness of the harvested fruit. Bottled early to maintain its pristine qualities\, this rosé is an ideal refreshment that ushers away the winter’s chill and pairs delightfully with the light and cheerful meals of spring and summer. \n2021 DOS MESAS \nCases:     98\nAlcohol: 14.6 \nAVA:       Livermore Valley \nTasting Notes: \nIntroducing the 2021 Dos Mesas\, a masterful blend of Cabernet Sauvignon from Casa de Viñas and Ghielmetti Vineyards that captures the essence of Livermore Valley. This blend creates a compelling narrative in a bottle\, showcasing a harmonious balance of strength and sophistication\, making it an exemplary choice for those who appreciate a red with depth and complexity.
