The Rose Wine Bar

North Coast, CA The 2022 shows depth of flavor while retaining a very moderate weight and a lithe finish. TheFlora & Fauna White is a balance of florals (ornage blossoms), minerals (wet stones), citrus (lemon peel), and orchard fruit (pear). Just when the wine starts to feel intense in its phenolics and aromatics, the palate turns to this near rain water like lightness with a crisp and clean finish.

Mendocino, CA Did you folks realize that Grenache graced California's soil back in 1860, a mere 14 years after the Golden State even became a thing? At one point, it stood tall as the second most prolific grape variety in this sun-soaked land, and for damn good reasons. This grape is as tough as they come, yielding bountiful harvests and soaking up the California sunshine like it was made for it. Can you dig where we're headed with this? It's a match that practically had the heavens themselves orchestrating. Switch on and drop back into 1969. That's the groove this wine love child dances to. Our Carbonic Grenache leeds the luscious, fruity ecstasy of carbonic maceration with the timeless allure of bitter cherries and bay leaf from the old school. Toss in some coriander, a bucket of blood orange, a dash of twizzlers, and voila, you've got yourself a bona fide banger! Always (and only) minimal Sulfites added.

Itata, Chile The 0.6-hectare vineyard El Tunel is made of 100% Cinsault planted in the 1959. With notes of red fruits and a slightly salty flavor, this wine reflects the unique symbiosis of this grape with Itata’s breezy coast and granite hillsides. Organic viticulture encourages this delicate wine to speak for itself and its natural surroundings. "The Cinsault reaches totally different levels on Granitic soils. This grape variety that makes simple wine elsewhere in the world here in Itata is the opossite. Intention, weight, red fruit and spices, and mineral end that lingers for a long time. The granitic soils expressing and showing off through the wine, Cinsault is here a translator of the Terroir. The steep hils, the granitic rock, and cold climate makes this complex wine, something to stop, feel and think in every sip. Drink slow."

Marsanne Roussanne Los Olivos District AVA Santa Barbara County Picked on September 25 th , this wine took almost 3 weeks to start a natural fermentation. Nervously optimistic, barrels were stationed outside in the warm sun to encourage it to kicked off. On October 14th the day of the partial annual solar eclipse (visible in Santa Barbara County and the winery) we were able to read the first measurable day of fermentation. Feeew!! The grapes are grown on a tiny vineyard in the Los Olivos District and classically co-fermented in neutral oak barrels. Quince, Pineapple, Coconut, Keffer lime, méringue.

Le Machin (The Thing) is a new project from Craig Winchester and Mike Roth at Lo-Fi, bringing us accessible, honest expressions. This is a blend of Gamay and Pinot Noir and is a callback to that blend in Burgundy-- thus the name Passe-Tout-Grains. The nose is quite pretty and lifted with raspberry, cherry, cola, clove, and some forest floor. The palate is light to medium in weight with sasparilla, clove, forest floor, cherry and brambly raspberry. For those looking for a light and complex California red blend, this could be the bottle for you
