Code Wines Grower Series Cuvée Rosé 2024
Washington, United StatesThis Okanagan winery is the vision of Shay and Harlee Code, farmers and owners of this organic 5 acre Okanagan Falls east bench estate. They began planting in 2017 with chardonnay and syrah. This 2024 rosé is part of their CIBC Grower Series, with fruit sourced from Washington State's Rattlesnake Hills and Wahluke Slope AVAs. The blend is 40% grenache, 30% cinsault, and 30% syrah, whole cluster pressed in stainless save for the cinsault, which went into neutral French barrels with weekly bâtonnage. Tart, taut, and bone dry, with summer strawberries, sour rhubarb, crushed florals scented with white pepper and finishing with a wash of salinity. Very smart replacement wine, and ready for any matter of food pairings now. Don't drink too cold.Tasted: 19 January 2026Tasted by: Prices:
