Somm Note

Winemaker Notes

This Rosé is elegant and distinct, with aromas of rose petals and subtle hints of strawberry and grapefruit. Bursts of fresh orange and lemon zest colorfully drive the palate and are delicately balanced with flavors of orange marmalade. A silky entrance on the palate coupled with fresh and uplifting acidity leaves you with our signature coastal expressiveness.

The Sonoma Coast’s rocky, well drained terrain and elevated proximity to the cool Pacific Ocean allow us to grow Pinot Noir grapes with fresh, bright red fruit aromas, complex minerality, and coastal acidity. Specific clones were selected for added aromatic complexity. The fruit for our 2017 Sonoma Coast Rosé was sourced from some of the finest family-owned vineyards within the extreme Sonoma Coast appellation including the Flowers’ Sea View Ridge estate vineyard.

Varietal: 100% Pinot Noir

Professional Ratings

  • 90
    Made from 100% Pinot Noir, the 2017 Rosé of Pinot Noir has a very pale salmon-pink color and offers up pretty floral notions of roses and lavender over a core of fresh raspberries and Bing cherries plus a touch of wet pebbles. Medium-bodied, the palate reveals elegant red berries and chalky layers with a lively backbone and peppery lift to the finish.

Flowers Winery Video

Over 25 years ago, Flowers Vineyards and Winery pioneered the growing of Pinot Noir and Chardonnay on the rugged coastal ridges of the extreme Sonoma Coast. Joan and Walt Flowers had a simple goal, to make exceptional wine that captures the wild beauty of the land and the spirit of the Sonoma Coast. This idea continues to drive everything we do - farming responsibly, harvesting by hand, using 100% native fermentation, and making wine with minimal intervention. Our unwavering commitment to crafting distinctive wines that capture the spirit of the Sonoma Coast has been the bedrock of our success, and it will continue to drive us forward for years to come.  

Perched on top of soaring coastal ridges that border the nearby Pacific Ocean, our estate vineyards, Camp Meeting Ridge and Sea View Ridge, rise to impressive elevations from 1,150 to 1,875 feet. Flowers resides in the Fort Ross-Seaview American Viticulture Area (AVA), which was established in 2012 and located on the extreme western edge of the Sonoma Coast Appellation. Defined by elevation, rugged terrain and proximity to the Pacific Ocean, vineyard plantings are limited to 920-1,800+ft above sea level and are only 2% of the total AVA acreage.

The Pacific Ocean is less than two miles from the vineyards, generating cooling sea breezes and coastal fog while the soaring elevations ensure abundant sunshine for a long, slow growing season. Together they create an ideal environment for elegant and nuanced Pinot Noir and Chardonnay.

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.

Sonoma Coast Wine

Sonoma County, California

A vast appellation covering Sonoma County’s Pacific coastline, the Sonoma Coast AVA runs all the way from the Mendocino County border, south to the San Pablo Bay. The region can actually be divided into two sections—the actual coastal vineyards, marked by marine soils, cool temperatures and saline ocean breezes—and the warmer, drier vineyards further inland, which are still heavily influenced by the Pacific but not quite with same intensity.

Contained within the appellation are the much smaller Fort Ross-Seaview and Petaluma Gap AVAs.

The Sonoma Coast is highly regarded for elegant Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, and, increasingly, cool-climate Syrah. The wines have high acidity, moderate alcohol, firm tannin, and balanced ripeness.
