2022 Vin De Porche Rose Anderson Valley
The 2022 vintage was an extremely high-quality season, with grapes that ripened under ideal conditions. A cool and mild spring followed by a warm summer led to an early harvest. Though yields were slightly lower than average, the grape quality was exceptional leading to excellent finished wines.
"Vin de Porche-no accent required-is a traditional dry rosé, and true to its name, it's meant to be enjoyed on the porch or patio. Pinot noir grapes from our companion vineyards in Anderson Valley give this wine delicate aromas of strawberry and bright, refreshing acidity. — *Winemaker Stephanie Jacobs*

Our Sauvignon Blanc grapes are grown in the Napa Valley and the North Coast, including in our own estate ranches in Carneros, Napa, Rutherford, and Calistoga. The cooler, southern part of the valley gives us sauvignon blanc with bright citrus characters, flinty minerality, and balanced acidity, while the warmer northern region brings out tropical notes in the final wine.
"Sauvignon blanc was the first white grape variety our family planted in 1972 adjacent to the winery, and it's still thriving there today. Zesty citrus aromas and balanced acidity make this classic Napa Valley sauvignon blanc perfect with lighter fare, fresh cheese, or your favorite seafood dish."— Dolores Cakebread

This Merlot comes from our estate vineyards throughout Napa Valley, including our Suscol Springs Ranch in the cooler southeastern reaches.

Grown in the cool Carneros conditions that maintain excellent balance between fruit characters and acidity in grapes. We ferment and age this wine in French oak barrels, and leave it on the yeast lees for months to enhance texture and complexity. Floral aromas mingle with fresh citrus, orange blossom, and white peach characters, and the palate is weighty yet balanced, with a mouth-coating texture and a clean, mineral finish.
