Lucy is the little sister to Lucia. The Rosé is made by allowing the grape juice to sit on the Pinot Noir skins for a couple days. After picking up enough color, the juice is drained from the grape skins into barrels, where it ferments. The short skin contact results in a wine that is lighter in color and lighter on the palate. A perfect picnic wine, Lucy’s essence of Pinot Noir and fresh acidity also allow for pairings with a variety of dishes throughout the seasons.
One dollar of every bottle of Lucy sold is donated to breast cancer research.
The 2009 Lucy Rosé of Pinot Noir carries a very pretty color reminiscent of a near-ripe strawberry. The nose boasts exuberant watermelon and wild strawberry/raspberry notes. On the palate, the wine is dry but flavorful with a peach character and a crisp, mouthwatering finish. This is one of our most complex rosés to date.
Medium orange-pink. High-pitched aromas of tangerine, pink grapefruit and jasmine. Juicy, intense and quite pure, with penetrating acidity contributing to this sweet citrus-dominated wine's impression of inner-mouth perfume. Energetic notes of white pepper and talc liven up the finish. 89 points Stephen Tanzer's International Wine Cellar, Jul 10
