Ernest Vineyards Eugenia Rosé Of Cinsault Bruella Ranch Vineyard 2022 Lodi

Production: 675 Cases - Retail: $28 - Farming: Certified Sustainable

Winemaker: Joseph Ryan

Tasting Notes: Brilliant pink-salmon color with stunning clarity and brightness. Aromatically a superbly charming wine with a great concentration of fresh red fruit aromas: unripe strawberries, pomegranate seeds, and fresh blackberries with underlying wet river pebbles. The palate is as gratifying with the addition of super-bright but gentle acidity and freshness. There are notes of summer watermelon and tart cherries with enough complexity to make this wine a companion to food.

From The Winery: Bruella Ranch, farmed by the Spaletta family just east of Lodi, is an ideal site to grow this southern French varietal. The well drained, sandy soils along the Mokelumne River deliver fully fleshed out grapes at low sugars. This young planting pays homage to the long history of this varietal in the Central Valley (Clone 3 selection derived from Black Malvoisie aka Cinsault). It's the perfect fit of history and forward thinking.
