Taste the terroir of Mendocino in the 92 point, Gold medal winning Idlewright Rosé of Pinot Noir
ABOUT THIS WINE:
Idlewright
Rosé of Pinot Noir
The cool nights and proximity to the ocean leave wines from Mendocino with beautiful and balanced acidity, which in this kind of wine is everything. To make this rosé the winemaker only let the grape skins touch the wine for a very short time, imparting the beautiful pink color. Choosing Pinot Noir grapes for a rosé is also a fantastic choice. The wine has an ethereal mix of fruit and earth with an incredibly light body. It’s complex with a light and savory finish. We think the secondary notes of rose petal, mushroom, and stone make it ideal for any occasion. It’s great on its own, or with grilled fish, ratatouille, or roasted meats. Judges love it too! It took home 92 points and a Gold medal at the 2018 Sommelier Challenge.

WINE REGION:
Mendocino County
One of the unsung regions of the North Coast, Mendocino County enjoys some of California's finest cool-climate terroirs. Lying north of Sonoma, it is home to 12 separate AVAs, spread through sleepy valleys and long, rugged coastlines—much of which exudes a rustic, laid-back feel. Mendocino delights fans of top-quality Pinot Noir, Chardonnay and sparkling wine, but there is also plenty of fine Cabernet Sauvignon, Zinfandel and Syrah made in its warmer sites too. Mendocino is also famous for its high number of organic-certified vineyards, reflecting the general "off-grid" hippie nature of its winemaking pioneers.
