Lemelson Vineyards Pinot Noir Rosé

Lemelson Vineyards Pinot Noir Rosé Wine Details
Price:

Description: Our 2002 Pinot Noir Rosé is made in the classic “saignée” style, meaning it is literally “bled off” the Pinot Noir vats after several hours of maceration. A limpid, eye-catching light salmon hue, the nose shows red raspberry, peach, red currant and yeasty notes. The mouth feel is soft, fruity and full, yet finishes with firm acidity. 20% of this wine was barrel-fermented in neutral (used) barrels to bring roundness and complexity, with the balance fermented in stainless steel to conserve fruitiness and freshness. In terms of complexity, balance, suppleness and bouquet, The 2002 Rosé will hit its peak sometime in the picnic season of summer 2003.
