and my favorite time of year! Waaay behind on the blog this month - in the meantime, here's all you need this summer to CHILL from Brack Mountain Wine Company.
Origine - a beautiful Dry (not sweet) Rose of Pinot Noir from the Russian River region in California. Widely available in Texas, Illinois, California, New York, New Jersey - just ask your favorite wine shop! $18 Cheers! Ali
Fermentation- The Pinot Noir was destemmed and moved into fermentation tanks, then a small percentage of juice was bled off. Most of the bleed off juice was transferred for fermentation into a stainless steel tank, with a portion in placed in neutral oak barrels. The wine was bottled as soon as it settled post fermentation to preserve its vibrant freshness.
Harvest Date: September 24th-- 28th, 2011 Winemaker: Dan Fitzgerald
Cooperage & Aging: Stainless steel & with a portion in neutral French oak

Bottling: January 2012 Production: 300 cases
Sensory Notes: This wine is treated delicately throughout fermentation, and the subtle hue of coppery pink is one result. The nose greets with watermelon rind, fraises de bois and a hint of black tea. The palate is racy, with refreshing acidity tempered by a supple, creamy mouthfeel. The finish is focused and dry yet full of ripe strawberry and cucumber.
Final Technical Information:pH: 3.22 TA: .73 Alc: 13.2%
