Forlorn Hope Queen of the Sierra Rosé

The "Queen of the Sierra" rosé is grown on the Rorick estate vineyard in Calaveras County at 2,000 ft elevation, featuring soils comprised of a layer of schist over dolomite-rich limestone. Composed of Barbera and Zinfandel, the wine shows all of the aromatic complexity and textural presence that are the hallmarks of wines grown on the limestone of our estate. It presents a wonderful dynamic tension between an entry that displays a hint of roundness and the bright, electric acidity that makes up this wine’s backbone.
