Wine Profile
Tasting Notes
An Italian style rosé of Sangiovese with a rich garnet color, bursting with bright strawberry, watermelon, and hints of candied orange peel. Notes of juicy summer berries and tart cranberry on the palate are balanced by a soft mouthfeel and refreshing acidity, leading to a soft, creamy finish.
Production Notes
2017 Growing Season: "Record-breaking winter rainfall kicked off the season, filling the water table to capacity and replenishing soils. A mild spring brought bud break at the normal time, and vintners reported small berries with excellent color. A hot summer culminated in a Labor Day weekend heat wave that caused some vintners to move up their harvest dates by a week or so. The grapes endured the heat and once cooler weather arrived, fruit was able to mature at a gradual pace. Vintners have a positive outlook on the 2017 wines, comparing the vintage to 2003, 2013 and 2014. The fruit has excellent color, pronounced flavors and high quality across varieties."—Wine Institute

This is a refreshing wine to drink on those hot summer days and nights. Our friends love it, and this was one of our special finds from a trip to Napa. The Castle Winery will always have a special place in our hearts.
