2012 Patterson Cellars Rose
The iridescent pink color of this wine reminds you of the late 80's, mullets, big hair and bright neon clothing... but now on to the wine... aromas of strawberries, baking bread and guava give our Rose a
roundness and a crispness associated with a spot-on balance, call it dry but if you push hard, the sugar is at 0.4 grams/100 ml below the sensory threshold.

2011 Patterson Cellars Forbidden Rosé
Reddish-orange in color, the wine has aromas of strawberry, baker’s yeast. Layers of fruit hit the palate, dry with a perception of sweetness on the finish. Harvested at flavor ripeness, approximately 25% of the red fruit was crushed and pumped into red fermenters and cold macerated for a 24-48 hour period on skins. The remaining 75% was pressed immediately off skins to avoid excessive color in the finished wine. The fermentation was kept cool in stainless steel tanks to preserve freshness and aromatics. The wine was lightly fined and filtered before bottling.
