Vivid red ruby in the glass, this wine opens with aromas of red fruit, cherry, blackberry and hints of earthiness, delicate toast and vanilla spice. The palate is rich, with refined silky tannins, medium acidity and flavors of cherry, red plums, raspberry and subtle notes of allspice on a long elegant finish.

The winter rainfall was slightly below average, but we were able to compensate with early spring irrigation to fill soil profiles before budbreak. Warm spring temperatures aided vine growth and they were able to reach max canopy height. Summer temperatures heated up and slowed down vine growth as vines transitioned into fruit development. Weather leading into harvest was relatively cool and uneventful, which allowed for gradual ripening of the fruit. It was another remarkable growing season in the Santa Lucia Highlands, resulting in wines with beautiful color, concentrated flavors, great structure and naturally balanced acidity.

The 2021 vintage was crafted using small-lot winemaking techniques to capture a true expression of each vineyard block. Only estate vineyard lots with consistent superior characteristics were selected to ensure exceptional quality of this blend. The grapes were harvested during cool mornings, brought to the winery, destemmed into open-top stainless-steel tanks, cold-soaked and fermented on the skins for 10 days. The wine was then pressed off, settled and racked into a selection of small 60-gallon French oak barrels where it was aged for 14 months. When the wine was ready to be blended, our winemaker selected only the finest barrels that exemplify the aromas and flavors of the Santa Lucia Highlands.

<b>Viticulture Notes</b><br>
The world’s best-known region for Rosé, AOP Côtes de Provence enjoys a refreshing Mediterranean climate of warm days and cool, brisk nights. Here, vine roots plunge deep below the dry clay soils and limestone gravel, called gravoches, to reach water. Vintage 2022 was outstanding, delivering concentrated, high-quality fruit. An ideal dry spring resulted in a wonderful fruit set, followed by a warm, dry growing season. Careful canopy management allowed clusters to develop bright, expressive flavors, intense aromatics and the crisp structure of Provençal Rosé.
<br><br>
<b>Winemaking Notes</b><br>
The grapes selected for our 2022 Fleur de Mer Rosé were harvested at ideal maturity, ensuring layered flavors and delicate structure. Grapes were picked in the cool early morning hours to preserve aromas and acidity, then crushed, immediately pressed and cold settled to maintain the bright, concentrated fruit characteristics and attractive pale-coral hue. Lots were fermented in cool, temperature-controlled tanks. Winemaker Florian Lacroux selected Cinsault, Grenache and Carignan to form the core of the blend, supported by other extraordinary Provençal grapes in a beautifully harmonious, layered Rosé wine.

The 2020 growing season in the Central Coast started with below average rainfall, causing supplemental irrigation to be applied when the vines started to awaken. Mild temperatures during veraison were perfect for developing full canopies and aiding fruit set with consistently small berry size. The late summer season had no heat spikes and allowed for gradual sugar accumulation and excellent flavor development.

Merlot and Petite Sirah are sourced from the Arroyo Seco AVA, a temperate growing region that fosters great acidity and intense structure development. A portion of Petite Sirah and Cabernet Sauvignon in this blend comes from family vineyards of our partner growers in San Antonio Valley which produces grapes with thick dark skins that give beautiful deep color to the wine. The Cabernet Sauvignon from Paso Robles contributes vibrant black cherry flavors and a supple, plush mouthfeel. A small addition of Malbec from Santa Lucia Highlands lends graceful and lifted aromatics to the blend.

<b>Harvest Notes</b><br>
The 2021 harvest will be remembered for reduced crop size, small berries and intense flavor profiles across the board. Ongoing dry conditions affected both crop and berry size, while idyllic weather patterns allowed the fruit to ripen slowly and evenly. Edna Valley is renowned its rich oceanic and volcanic soils, cool Pacific breezes, and warm sunny days. Overall quality in 2021 was outstanding.
<br><br>
<b>Winemaking Notes</b><br>
We harvested our Sauvignon Blanc grapes when they had developed optimal balance and desirable citrus and tropical fruit notes. A variety of specialty yeasts were used to showcase the varietal characteristics and bring them to the wine’s forefront. We fermented in stainless steel tanks at cooler temperatures around 55°F to retain delicate aromas and signature compounds. To increase viscosity and complexity, the wine was aged on its lees for two months before blending.
