Edmunds St. John "Bone-Jolly" Gamay Rosé '19

The 2019 rosé is lively and transparent to such wonderful terroir-driven notes, giving us another delectable champion in 2020. A nod to how incredibly consistent (and delicious) Edmunds' winemaking is.

Witters Vineyard, at roughly 1,000 meters elevation is the site of Edmunds' original planting of Gamay, originally planted in 2000. The soil here is of volcanic origin, red clay-loam, contributing to good perfume, and finesse. Also planted in 2000, is Gamay from Barsotti Ranch, from plots at approximately 900 meters, which has old, decomposed granite soils, providing firm structure and grip to the wine.

The grapes were directly pressed, resulting in a brilliant and light rosé from the hue to the immensely fresh aromas, transported straight to the palate. Nervy, with great acidity, the wine is delicate and extremely refreshing.
