2025 Avant-Garde Rosé

Meet the thirteenth edition of our quintessential springtime Avant-Garde Rosé. Our winemakers carefully selected three distinct Carneros estate vineyards and three Pinot Noir clones, to highlight in the 2025 vintage. This blend features 60% Dijon 115 Clone from our Tula Vista vineyard, where heavy clay soils and northwest-facing slopes build structure and depth; 20% Swan Clone from the historic, established vines of our Pompadour vineyard; and 20% Pommard Clone from Entre Amis vineyard, where the cool breeze of San Pablo Bay lingers closest. Three days of skin contact yield the wine's delicate shade of pale rosé gold, before neutral oak barrel fermentation rounds out the texture over four months. Our winemakers use a time-honored French technique of bâtonnage, gently stirring the wine with its natural sediment to create a creamy, velvety texture balanced with bright acidity.
