A perfect every day sipper and plenty of complexity to pair well with many food options. The complexity for this Rosé is built in being that it is the Saignée portion of 6 red varietals.

Yakima Valley, Washington’s first AVA established in 1983, offers warm days, cool nights, and diverse soils—volcanic ash, sand, and silt—that bring out delicate varietal nuances. This dry rosé, crafted from six red varietals, showcases Yakima’s rich terroir. The region’s dramatic temperature shifts enhance the grapes’ natural acidity, while the soil complexity adds minerality and depth, resulting in bright fruit flavors and a crisp, energizing finish.
Made using the Saignée method, this rosé gains its vibrant color and concentrated flavors by "bleeding" juice from red wine fermentation. Treated like a white wine post-extraction, it retains the lively acidity and freshness typical of Yakima’s terroir. Inspired by Provence but uniquely Yakima, this rosé balances Old World sophistication with New World vibrancy, offering a bold, full-bodied wine with a clean, crisp finish.
