Producer: Quivira Vineyards Region: Dry Creek Valley, Sonoma County, California Blend: 70% Grenache, 11% Counoise, 9% Mourvedre, 5% Petit Sirah, 5% Primitivo Year: 2024  Gold Medal Winner - 2023 Sonoma County Harvest Fair  Winemaker Notes:  "Once again visually stunning, and classically light in color, we have Grenache as the anchor at 70% of the blend, with Counoise and Mourvedre now back up to their normal levels. In the nose, Rhubarb, watermelon, and white peach are accented by subtle floral notes alongside hints of strawberry and just a wisp of black pepper. Super juicy and refreshing with bright, vibrant acidity and lingering red fruit that draws you back for more. As the wine warms up the Grenache-driven strawberry character becomes more prominent and is complemented by a wonderful texture that balances mid-palate richness with zippy, palate-cleansing acidity. A truly outstanding vintage for our Rosé and one that all fans of this wine will enjoy."  About the Winemaking:  "A labor
