The palate is racy and balanced with flavors of juicy peach, melon and guava complemented by a focused finish with lingering huckleberry flavors.
Vineyard Notes
Owned by the Eakle family Pope Valley Winery is located in the northeastern hills just beyond Howell Mountain in Napa Valley. Our two estate vineyards with a combined 80 planted acres, at the winery and our Eakle Ranch vineyard, yield rich distinctive wines characteristic of the terroir. Our wines showcase the mineral complexity of the soils -Pleasanton loam and Bressa-Dibble complex. Pope Valley is a warm growing climate with cool evenings and mornings which allow the grapes to hang on the vine long enough to ripen to their fullest potential, yet cool enough at night to develop complex varietal aromas. Pope Valley wines express the historic character that established Napa Valley as one of the premier growing regions in the world.
Winemaker Notes
Sangiovese, the most famous Italian grape is perfectly suited for the Pope Valley terroir. These grapes are farmed especially for Rose with a little more water and room to grow, producing the subtle, fresh flavor and delicate texture we love.
