Rose

The finest Roses delight, refresh and entertain, offering nothing less than complete joy in a glass whether you are drinking it on its own, or with food.  The JNSQ Rose Cru gives all this an more. It’s a fine wine sourced from carefully selected blocks in some of the finest regions along California’s cool Central Coast. The fruit from each vineyard block is made separately to bring out the absolute best qualities that each site has to offer. Grenache, Pinot Gris, Syrah and Viognier from these blocks are then combined to display a delicate complexity and balance to give something special, je ne sais quoi that is difficult to describe, but immediately recognizable on the first sip. 

JNSQ Rosé Cru 2018 is summer in a glass, no matter what the calendar says. Not too sweet, but never bitter, this grenache-forward Rosé is clean and aromatic with a touch of strawberry and hints of Bing cherry. The dynamic flavors are accented with savory herbal and white floral notes that make it crisp and elegant, perfect for sipping by the pool, serving at a barbecue, or toasting over a candlelit dinner. 

This wine is balanced, refreshing, and versatile. The graceful texture and clean finish make our Rosé Cru delightful all on its own, but it plays well with a range of foods. The fruit flavors complement light bites, like arugula and goat cheese salad, or fresh bruschetta, while the balanced texture holds its own with savory dishes like roasted branzino or even a prosciutto pizza.

When it comes to appreciating this style of wine Pedroncelli Winery has it down to an art. They have been producing rosé since 1954 and have more than 60 vintages under their belt. Going for a style that captures the essence of fruit and is crisp and a touch spicy, the grapes for the Pedroncelli Rosé 2018 were harvested from the Pedroncelli home ranch. The site’s well-drained rocky soils, hillsides and excellent microclimate enable Zinfandel to develop generous fruit flavors.

Pale pink in color with bright aromas of cherry and rose petals. Flavors feature strawberry and cherry up front with a hint of white pepper spice. Refreshing, clean and crisp with a touch of spiciness on the finish. This Rosé is made to be enjoyed upon release.
