2018 Rosé Wine

Chris Christensen is a self-taught, envelope-pushing vintner originally from rural Iowa. He burst onto the wine scene in 2011 with Bodkin wines, where he’s known for being the first American to make a Sparkling Sauvignon Blanc. He was recently dubbed the “Bubbles Innovator” on Wine Enthusiast’s 40 under 40 Tastemaker list.

Crisp, dry, plush. This Rose delivers fruit-forward elements from the saignée component, a crisp finish and focused acidity from the chardonnay and pinot gris, aromas of berry and fruit from zin, and a touch of rich, round, velvety plushness from barrel-fermented chardonnay.

• 100% Recyclable
• Doesn’t affect the taste
• No light exposure or oxidation
• No “corked” wines

Yep, it’s not pink. The brush strokes celebrate the diverse array of wines that went into this blended rosé and are a nod to Chris’ blended background –  ‘cause blending is beautiful, baby.

This rose goes with more than just brunch. Sip it alongside salmon, a niçoise salad, or with veggie skewers on the barbecue. Don’t forget a charcuterie board with whatever main dish you choose – a creamy Chevre or Brie is a delight with this Rose.

It was delightfully refreshing, creatively invigorating, to be encouraged to push the boundaries, to truly blend the best wine I could. To be given the freedom to make a wine as unique as I am. Bringing together red and white components into one beautiful blend – I forget this is unconventional – making a wine that’s pretty, by alternative means. Each component is sourced from small family farmers on the North Coast of California.
