2012 Dianthus ties for best rosé of the 2012 vintage
In late April we received the International Wine Review's annual rosé report. In it, our 2012 Dianthus tied with a Pinot Noir rosé from Sancerre as the report's top rosé of the 2012 vintage, receiving 92 points and the comments "What makes this wine so good is its pure, fresh and mineral like character combined with good concentration and excellent balance.” We couldn’t be prouder. You can read the full review and see the other wines that made their “Top 20 Rosés of the 2012 Vintage” here.

Featured Wine for May: 2011 Cotes de Tablas Blanc
In May, we're featuring our 2011 Cotes de Tablas Blanc at a 10% discount. In 2011, our Viognier crop was cut by 80% due to spring frost, leaving a tiny, intense yield of less than one-half a ton per acre. The resulting wine is rich and tropical, with stone fruits and honey, but at the same time firmly dry, with a very long, saline & mineral finish. Details »
