"The Sainte Rose Cuvée is named after Santa Rosa Road, where the fruit is sourced from Sanford & Benedict, La Rinconada, and Rancho La Viña vineyards. Deep ruby in colour with a clear rim, the blend’s multi-vineyard origins lend a tea-like tannin structure that enhances the wine’s deep floral character. Aromas of rose red petals carry through to a palate layered with red berries, toasted cedar, and a hint of rosemary. While the wine is driven by primary flavour characteristics now, ageing the wine for 1-3 years will enhance dried fruit and floral character. (Drink between 2025-2030)" -Decanter, 93DE
When two of France’s most storied producers unite to create world class wines that rival their homegrown bottlings, the wine world takes notice. Burgundy's Étienne de Montille and Rodolphe Péters of Champagne house, Pierre Peters, settled on the Santa Rita Hills due to its cool climate and highly varied soils. Initially they partnered with Justin Willett (Native9, Tyler) to be their onsite co-producer, but after he purchased Fiddlestix Vyd, they realized that a full-time, ‘in-house’ producer was needed, and pried Ryan Hannaford away from Oregon’s Evening Land and Patricia Green vineyards.
