Winery Notes

Tasting NotesFrom its captivating golden-hued pink color to its enticing aromas of sweet strawberry, crisp red apple, pomegranate, blood orange, and rose petals, this is a beautifully vivacious rosé. Bright and energetic on the palate, it gracefully expresses the more delicate aspects of our estate-grown Merlot, with lively layers of wild strawberry, cherry, and flowers that linger throughout a lush, focused finish.

Vintage NotesThe overall weather throughout the 2020 growing season was excellent. After a dry winter, bud break started early in our vineyards. The temperatures throughout spring and summer were relatively mild, ensuring that the grapes had ample time to develop vibrant, complex flavors and generous textures. Simultaneously, the overall lack of precipitation kept canopy growth in check and produced small clusters with highly concentrated berries. As a result, our wines from the 2020 vintage display excellent structure, compelling aromatics, and lush varietal flavors.

Vineyard NotesLocated in the famed eastern mountains of Napa Valley, our Attelas Vineyard was first planted in 1992 and was the original ‘home vineyard’ of legendary winegrower Dr. Jan Krupp. Attelas is situated at approximately 1,300 feet and features 32 acres of vines, planted in volcanic, clay, and loam soils as a mosaic of 20 vineyard blocks—including eight blocks and six different clones of Cabernet Sauvignon, as well as Merlot, Malbec, Cabernet Franc, Sauvignon Blanc, Zinfandel, and Tempranillo. With a predominantly northwest exposure, Attelas is a cool site in a cooler appellation, making it ideal for crafting a bright and alluring rosé.
