Winemaker Notes

Light cranberry color, juicy strawberry-watermelon fruit aromas, nice mineral, hint of pink grapefruit. Refreshingly crisp and dry. Great with almost any food, from sushi to salmon to BBQ!
Blend: 90% Carignane, 4% Zinfandel, 1.5% Pinot Noir, 1.5% Petite Sirah, 1.5% Cabernet Sauvignon, 1.5% Viognier.

Professional Ratings

    One of the deepest colored rosés around, this wine has fresh, exuberant red-fruit aromas, while flavors bring as much complexity and depth as many full-fledged reds. Made from Carignane grapes, it does not follow the current vogue of pale-pink wines and is worth seeking out for its concentration.

    One of greatest factors that often prevents wine lovers from drinking rosé wines is the sometimes pinkish color and uncertainty as to whether the wine is a blush—a Kool Aid kind of wine—or a real rosé—a serious wine for oenophiles. The 2015 Carol Shelton Rendezvous Rosé is made for all wine drinkers. The wine begins with a deep cranberry color and delivers rich fruit that speaks of the grape varieties and not of candy; crisp and flavorful in the finish. Pair with sashimi and see how well the match works. Drinks superbly now. (Tasted: July 5, 2016, San Francisco, CA)

Whether it’s playful and fun or savory and serious, most rosé today is not your grandmother’s White Zinfandel, though that category remains strong. Pink wine has recently become quite trendy, and this time around it’s commonly quite dry. Since the pigment in red wines comes from keeping fermenting juice in contact with the grape skins for an extended period, it follows that a pink wine can be made using just a brief period of skin contact—usually just a couple of days. The resulting color depends on grape variety and winemaking style, ranging from pale salmon to deep magenta.

Reaching up California's coastline and into its valleys north of San Francisco, the North Coast AVA includes six counties: Marin, Solano, Napa, Sonoma, Mendocino and Lake. While Napa and Sonoma enjoy most of the glory, the rest produce no shortage of quality wines in an intriguing and diverse range of styles.

Climbing up the state's rugged coastline, the chilly Marin County, just above the City and most of Sonoma County, as well as Mendocino County on the far north end of the North Coast successfully grow cool-climate varieties like Pinot Noir, Chardonnay and in some spots, Riesling. Inland Lake County, on the other hand, is considerably warmer, and Cabernet Sauvignon, Zinfandel and Sauvignon Blanc produce some impressive wines with affordable price tags.
