2021 Eric Kent Sonoma Coast Rose

WSI92 Consistent with the EK house style, the 2021 is as immensely satisfying and deeply flavorful as the gorgeous electric color suggests. Cooler climate Sonoma Coast Pinot delivers loads of lifted bing cherry, strawbwerry and watermelon while smaller additions of Syrah and Grenache bring spice, raspberry and black cherry, pushing depth, structure and flavor to the next level.
Designed to be much more than a simple quaffer, roughly 50% of the juice was native fermented in older oak barrels with the balance raised in stainless steel to balance texture with freshness. We put as much work and thought into our Rosé as we would any of our other more “serious” wines and the final result skews more towards chillable red territory than super pale pink or white wine substitute.  300 cases.
88% Pinot Noir | 7% Syrah | 5% Grenache
