HARVEST MOON Estate Sparkling Zinfandel Rosé

Russian River Valley, Sonoma County

WHY WE LOVE IT:

• Pretty, pink and delicious!
• Silver Medal - San Francisco Chronicle Wine Competition
• Estate grown grapes in the Russian River Valley
• Small, artisan producer committed to sustainability on the family farm

WINEMAKER: Randy Pitts, a grape grower and winemaker on the family vineyard for decades. He calls himself a 'wine shepherd." We call him just plain awesome.

WHAT WE TASTED: Fresh tart strawberry, juicy cranberry and floral notes. Dry wine with just a slight touch of sweetness.  Lighter than most sparkling zinfandel wines since the skins were removed earlier in the process.

AVA DESIGNATED: Russian River AVA, Sonoma County

WHAT WE PAIRED:

• Sushi
• Seared Scallops with a citrus glaze
• Duck Breast with a berry sauce
• Peach Sorbet

PERSONALITY:  The grapes were cold and pressed off the skins very gently, so the wine is more of an opaque color. This sparkling wine will last several years in the cellar.

TECHNICAL: 

• Only 140 cases made
• 100% Zinfandel
• Low 12.5% alcohol
• Dry with .6 g/L dosage
