Kale Wines – “Kick Ranch Vineyard” Rose

The History

Kick Ranch, owned by Dick Keenan, is a hillside vineyard located in Sonoma County’s newest AVA, Fountaingrove District. The terroir at Kick Ranch is fantastic for Rosé. Its soil is Pleasanton-Haire complex that has been deposited in an alluvial fan surrounding natural runoff from the Mayacama Mountains. Fantastic drainage has forced the plants to dig deep roots, naturally balancing the vines with low yields and concentrated fruit. With a straight shot through the Petaluma wind gap, the cool maritime breezes balance the intense afternoon exposure. This results in dark, ripe fruit with good acidity

The grape

90% Grenache, 10% Cinsaut

Tasting note

Luminous and pale pink. A bouquet of white raspberry, jasmine and honeysuckle. Mouthwatering watermelon rind and cucumber refreshes the palate, gaining a light herbal hint. A long, streamlined finish.
