"r" Rosé
v. XI
Overview
Using grapes from our prestigious vineyards, we artfully blend to obtain an elegant, complex and balanced wine with pure and vibrant flavors. “r” then receives the same care and handling as our great Chardonnays, barrel-aged in French oak to intensify aromas and harmonize this unique blend.
“r” is a delicate rosé artfully blended to achieve a graceful balance of freshness and depth of flavor along with an array of exotic fruit characters. Heady aromas of apple blossom spring from the glass while flavors of citrus and watermelon envelope the palate. Dry, with crisp, focused edges, the mid-palate is round and inviting. The finish is long and expressive with cranberry and fresh strawberry notes that seem to last forever.

Fresh and vibrant, the 2017 ‘Yamhill Cuvée’ exudes pure and refined elegance. Introduced by a fetching floral nose, intense pure fruit flavors of strawberry, dark cherry and tart cranberry burst on the palate. A veil of complex notes of mulled spices, forest floor and chaparral balance the fruit-driven essence of the wine. The mouthfeel is dense with pure, rich texture and fresh minerality, integrating the structured tannins, leading to a smooth lingering finish.
