2022 Three Wine Company Rose Contra Costa County

Winemaker Notes: Pink grapefruit and lots of cherries and white flowers entice you with aromas reminiscent of carefree warm and sunny afternoons. What follows is a serving of electric neon sherbet that dances across your palate to a brilliant soundtrack of youth and exuberance.

Matt Cline has gone back to his roots with Three Wine Company. Together with his wife, Erin, they focus on making wine from old vines of California's "heritage" varietals: Zinfandel, Mataro, Carignane, Alicante Buschet and Petite Sirah. Matt believes that the dirt, the micro-climate and sustainable wine growing form the cornerstone of good winemaking and these three elements are in every bottle Three Wine Company produces. Matt focuses his energies on working with the old-vine plantings in places few growers and winemakers find interesting, mainly in the sandy soils of Contra Costa County. It is because of this dedication and diligence that Matt is able to source fruit from vines that are over 100 years old!
