Producer notes: "Erratica is named for the giant rocks that are carried on the backs of glaciers and left to rest, alone and isolated, hundreds of miles from their true home. The name refers to the fact that they are of a completely different nature than everything else that lies in the field. Erratica is our most unconventional and experimental wine. Like the solitary rocks it is named after, it is completely unlike anything else. Typically rosé is made in one of two ways. Either it is pressed directly like a white wine, or bled from a fermenter destined for red wine during the first 24 hours. In this conventional sense, this is not rosé; but neither is it red or white. The liquid is macerated on the skins for a little over a week. Somewhere between the 6th and 8th day, the aromatics of the fermentation reach a peak of expression and fill the room with astonishing perfume. At this point, just before it becomes red wine, we siphon the juice from the fermenters and fill the barrels, where the juice finishes its fermentation and ages on the lees for a year before bottling."
Not yet reviewed; 2010 vintage rated 92 points by International Wine Cellar: "(100% pinot noir; made from juice macerated on the skins for roughly a week, after which it was racked into barrels and aged on its lees for a year before bottling): Faded red. A wild, complex bouquet evokes red fruit preserves, cherry pit and potpourri, with a note of orange zest adding lift. Sweet raspberry and cherry flavors are braced by tangy acidity and gain weight and floral character with air. Big but balanced, with excellent finishing cling and spicy persistence. (Jul 2012)"

Producer notes: "We’ve been producing a White Zinfandel at Buehler since 1983. Our means of bringing you consistently delicious wines remains unchanged since 1983: we hand-pick our 100% zinfandel fruit riper than most producers and leave less residual sugar. Riper fruit translates to flavors like wild berries and strawberries; yes, real red zinfandel fruit flavors! The end result is a wine with more red zinfandel berry character and a less sweet, more refreshing taste. Alcohol 12.5%. Residual sugar 1.5%."

Producer notes: "This is a much anticipated Rosé wine made from 98+ year old Grenache Gris vines. Strawberry, tangerine and melon excite the senses for what follows. A moment to ponder reveals floral and earthy aromas. On the palate juicy berry flavors please while the tannins and acidity prove this is a real wine that complements nearly everything on the spring and summer table."

Producer notes: "Floral ripe strawberry, fragrant yellow peach and subtle minerality combine deliciously in this refreshing young wine. Fermented and aged three months in neutral French oak and stainless steel, sweet, mouth-filling strawberry fruit turns succulent and lively with a hint of pomegranate and oak spice en route to a long, fresh finish. 150 cases produced."

Producer notes: "The 2012 Indica Rosé was sourced from two new growers in the northern end of Mendocino County. Same idea in both vineyards--mid-century vines on original roots, dry-farmed, organic. The wine has more phenolic development than the 2011, more mid-palate texture, but without compromising the cleansing acidity and freshness. It’s rocking that Oeil de Perdrix hue again and it finished at 11.8% with a pH of 3.0 (gulpable factor: HIGH). It’s all nectarine pit, orange blossom, wild strawberry, watermelon rind, and stoney mineral."

Producer notes: "Initiated by the copious amounts of Rosé we go through at our house 10 months out of the year, the opportunity arose in 2011 to make a few barrels of Bandol-inspired Mourvèdre Rosé in a lean, mineral driven style we love from the pinks out of Provence right in our own backyard -- how could we say no? Now, a tradition (and, addiction). Profile: purple basil, minerality, pomegranate, orange rind, fresh gardenia, meaty earthiness, fleur de sel."

Producer notes: "[$27 list] 60% Mourvèdre, 25% Grenache, 15% Counoise. The 2012 Dianthus is cranberry in color, with an expressive nose of watermelon rind, rose petals, plum, and mineral. The mouth is rich but vibrant, with flavors of wild strawberry, pomegranate, plum and lime, and a long, rich finish that is both fresh and spicy. Pair it with Mediterranean cuisine, Spanish tapas, preparations with garlic and olive oil... or just enjoy it outside on a sunny day. 14.5% alcohol 1,200 cases produced."
