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.

Rose Petal
This vibrant Rosé is one of our favorite summertime wines. We've been enjoying the light body, but complex tastes with light appetizers to beat the heat.
