Item Description

Pair of Mixed Rose: Onward 2016 Rose of Pinot & Farmstrong 2016 Field Rosé, 2 bottles.

Onward 2016 Rosé of Pinot Noir, Hawkeye Ranch, Redwood Valley, 1 bottle: This Rosé of Pinot Noir is loaded with a bounty of fresh strawberry, raspberries and citrus blossom and nicely balanced with savory complexity of dried hibiscus tea and refreshing minerality of wet stone. This wine has a full round mouthfeel and is balanced with vibrant acidity which allows it to age beautifully and be extremely food friendly. She is serious on the inside, but she is openly loving with a contagious smile.

Farmstrong 2016 Field Rosé, California (Carignane, Zinfandel), 1 bottle: Loaded with vibrant lively fruits, it is summer in a glass:  ripe strawberries, honey tangerine, camellia blossom. This wine is inviting, happy, easy going and relaxing…like a walk in the park on a sunny day. I couldn’t be more thrilled with the purity and focus of the wine, she is pretty in pink…but not afraid to show her serious side.

"My style is about letting the vines speak. They are the art, I am the canvas, my job is to give them a chance to share their beauty in each and every vintage. My decisions are driven from the vineyard and the vintage, my cellar practices are to uphold the truths I find in the vineyard. To this end I pick early looking for balance of flavors at lower ripeness, as I find this is when each vineyard is in its most unique expression of self." -Faith Armstrong, owner & winemaker for both Farmstrong and Onward wines.
