Le Mistral Vineyard Rosé of Cinsault 2015
Central Coast
Founded by Joseph Phelps more than 15 years ago, this 200-acre Monterey County vineyard comprises the major grape varietals that characterize the Southern Rhone Valley of France. The site sits about 10 miles south of the Arroyo Seco in the foothills outside of King City, and is known for blustery afternoon winds similar to the mistrals, or winds, that blow in the south of France. We call upon this site for Cinsault to make a rosé for our Eugenia brand; less than one acre at the site is planted to these grapes.
The aromas are fresh and clean with hints of blood orange and tangerine plus an underlying minerality typical of the rosés from Provence. The acidity is persistent and a beautiful compliment to an array of foods; but being wonderfully low in alcohol, it is delicious on its own.
