Description

French for Santa Rosa, and Santa Rosa Road in particular, this wine is a blend of four of the region’s most iconic vineyards: La Encantada, Domaine de la Cote, Sanford & Benedict and La Rinconada, 2020 is the inaugural edition of this gorgeous wine—aromatics of fresh smashed raspberries, lavender and notes of crushed stone. The palate is a homage to the Burgundian style, emphasising minerality and florals, berry fruits, and savoury garrigue. Red and blue fruits intertwined with clove, thyme and pine tar carry this wine to a savoury, concentrated finish.

Drink 2023 - 2031

Critics reviews

Jancis Robinson MW 17/20

Proprietary name. One-third whole bunch. This blend follows the US model of barrel selection. So this is from the best barrels or rather the ones that go together best. 3,000 bottles produced.

A little more tension than the regular bottling, and really very nice. Ripe but not sweet.

Antonio Galloni 92/100

A dark, brooding Pinot, the 2020 Saint Rose offers up copious black cherry, plum, mocha, leather, liquorice and spice. The Saint Rose is essentially a barrel selection from the same sites that inform the appellation wine. I find this a bit heavy and oaky for my taste.
