Wine 2011 Rosato di Cabernet Sauvignon

Grapes from some of the oldest vines planted (in 1975) on Long Island! Beautiful jewel-like pale pink…red currants, earth, herbs and flowers…delicious, balanced, plump and persistent wine…wonderful fruit intensity, a clean, satisfying finish…Match with smoked fish and heartier fare from the grill; beef, lamb, chicken, pork, BBQ, lobster, sausage, tuna, vegetables, and mushrooms. 408 cases made. All eight of the Rosati were made from hand-harvested fruit that was whole cluster-pressed and fermented in stainless steel tanks. All of the Rosati are dry, balanced and delicious and the color comes only from the 3-4 hours in the press. This is red fruit selected specially for pink wine production that is processed like we were making white wine.
