In the ongoing quest to craft the perfect rose’ there are some revisions to the 2011 Ode to Lulu.  Rather than being completely composed of whole-cluster pressed Mourvedre from Bedrock planted in 18888, this vintage the wine also contains 31% whole-cluster pressed Mourvedre from Pagani Ranch planted in 1921 and 9% younger-vine Grenache treated the same way from Annadel Vineyard.  All the lots were picked between 19.6 and 21.2 brix.  They were vinified separately using native yeasts and then blended back together.  This is easily the most delicate version of this wine yet.  It is a beautiful light copper-pink and weighs in at 12.3% alcohol.  This will pair nicely with a wide range of Spring and Summer fare or simply on its on.  God, I love rose!
