Today, the second bottling event of Vinoland's 2012 bottling season was successfully executed. The St. Helena Cabernet Sauvignon (clone 7) and the Stags Leap District Cabernet Franc (unknown clone) are now resting in antique green Bordeaux bottles, whilst snuggling up to a natural cork. The grapegrowers departed Vinoland well pleased with their vinous plunder-laden pickups.
Also bottled was a delightful saignée of the aforementioned Cabernet Sauvignon. A perfectly balanced, deeply hued, expression of a Cabernet Sauvignon rosé.
Job well done, Vinomaker.

So glad that you used the term, but maybe you should explain for the millions of lay readers of this blog: saignée.
Ok, thousands of lay readers...
Don't count your vintage before the cork is popped.
Thomas: Thank you...you have given me fodder for a future post :)
Thud: This is a 2011 rosé. You can taste it for yourself next month :)

Monkey: The colour is great...wish you and Tenbellies could be here this summer to sample some.
Vinogirl....I am juiceing up just looking at it.If it tastes as good as it looks it'll be a winner for sure.
LR: It really is a lovely rosé. Vinomaker did a great job with it.
