Subject to Change ETA? Rosé 2022

We’re all about wines that tell a story! Meet the ‘ETA?’ Rosé from Subject to Change. The grapes are from Rhodes Vineyard which is nestled in the heart of Redwood Valley and lovingly stewarded by Richard and Christian Rhodes. This vineyard is a treasure trove of history, boasting ancient vines like Grenache from the 1940s, Carignan from the 1960s, and relatively 'young' Merlot and Zinfandel vines. It's a heritage vineyard that echoes with the whispers of generations past.

This lovely Rosé is a captivating blend of 42% Zinfandel, 32% Carignan, 15% Grenache, and 11% Merlot, each grape contributing its unique character to this delightful wine. Harvested together, these grapes were gently pressed into stainless steel tanks, where they underwent a slow, cool fermentation process. This method preserves the purity of the fruit, allowing their natural flavors to shine through.

After fermentation, the wine rested peacefully in stainless steel tanks for five months of élevage, a period where it developed its harmonious balance and intricate flavors. Expect no fining, no filtration, and not a drop of added SO2. It’s a testament to the winemaker’s commitment to their craft, where the focus is on letting the grapes speak for themselves.

Pour a glass and discover its vibrant aromas of ripe berries and a subtle hint of spice, leading to flavors that dance on the palate with a touch of earthiness. This wine embodies the essence of Redwood Valley's terroir—cool nights that preserve acidity and sunny days that impart richness.

Whether you're pairing it with grilled sausages, roasted veggies, or a crisp summer salad, ‘ETA?’ is your go-to. Share it with friends or enjoy it in solitude; either way, it's an invitation to relish each sip, celebrating the rich heritage and craftsmanship that goes into every bottle.

Here's to wines that quench your thirst and weave a tale of dedication, tradition, and the vibrant flavors of Redwood Valley! Cheers!
