This wine is lively, bright with aromas of raspberry, strawberry and brûléed orange on the nose. The midpalate has flavors of strawberry-rhubarb and tangerine zest interlaced with dried herbs, minerality and a dry finish.

Winemaker Notes

The Decoy Rosé was inspired by the great Rosés of Provence. Unlike many Rosés, which are made as a byproduct of bleeding off juice from red wine fermentations, the grapes for this wine were specifically harvested at lower Brix to make a dry Rosé. To further preserve the wine’s beautiful aromatics, pure fruit flavors and crisp refreshing mouthfeel, it was fermented entirely in stainless steel.

This aromatic rosé draws you in with tantalizing layers of white peach, honeydew melon and tropical lychee. On the palate, it shimmers with cool-climate verve and energy, offering mouth-filling flavors of grapefruit, Meyer lemon, and orange blossom that culminate in a bright, beautifully focused finish.
