Rosella's Vineyard Pinot Noir

Santa Lucia Highlands · Estate-Grown
“The Madame”

The most floral and elegant of ROAR’s estate Pinot Noirs, Rosella’s is defined by lifted aromatics and vivid red fruit. It's natural power is balanced by an unmistakable sense of grace and femininity. It is typically expressed through layers of dark cherry cream, lavender pastille and leather, with grapefruit zest and florals lingering on the long, graceful finish.

Rosella’s Vineyard in the Santa Lucia Highlands

Rosella’s Vineyard

Rosella’s is our northernmost estate vineyard in the Santa Lucia Highlands, surrounding our family home and named for winery matriarch, Rosella. Daily fog and persistent winds keep the site cool, preserving freshness and giving the fruit a long, gradual path to ripeness.
