2009 Yorkville Highlands Rosé of Syrah

Last spring, inspired by beautiful sunny weather, a very social game of Bocce, and a lot of barbecuing, discussion turned to making a new, lighter wine, perfect for such occassions. Although it seemed like a playful concept, this was in fact a radical move, since the Meyer Family for the last four decades has been devoted to full bodied red wine. That evening we had a hankering for something with the intense elements of a red yet more refreshing to enjoy while socializing. It was obvious—we needed a Rosé!

A year later, we are very excited to announce the release of our first Rosé, a Dry Rosé of Syrah. Perfect as an aperitif and a great way to get your evening started during fabulous spring weather.

Tasting Notes

This is a Dry Rosé of Syrah, with the slightest hint of sweetness on the mid palate. It has crisp, slightly pronounced acidity and great, refreshing fruit characters on both the nose and palate. With Watermelon being the dominating character on the nose, softer hints of raspberry come through as well. This is the first Rosé style we have produced, made mainly for our own fun and enjoyment. The result has been an elegant, sophisticated summer wine that we are very proud to put the Meyer name to.
