House of Brown Rose 2022 750 ML

House of Brown is the second label of the Brown Estates, Napa's first and only Black-owned estate winery, celebrating their 25th Anniversary of wine making in 2022. This dry Rose showcases aromas of violets and heritage rose with flavors of wild strawberries, cherry, melon and lychee. Delicate, yet vibrant. ABOUT THE PRODUCER In 1980, the Brown family acquired land in the hills east of Rutherford in the Napa Valley. They were farmers first, and farmers they remain. In 1995, the Browns decided on the strength of their fruit to make wine under their own label. The following year, they produced their first vintage of zinfandel, and along the way added cabernet sauvignon, chardonnay, petite sirah, and the occasional dessert wine. In 2010, the Brown family celebrated thirty years in the Napa Valley and Brown Estate's fifteenth crush. Over the years, the farming philosophy has not changed: Fifty acres of vineyards are planted amidst 450 acres of roughneck wilderness that they strive to tend rather than tame – from the occasional inconvenient honeybee hive in the winery - to the prickly star thistles in their vineyards that are a part of their ecosystem. Their winemaking philosophy adheres to the principle of purity: They let the vineyard (and Mother Nature, of course) guide the way, and from what the harvest yields, they seek to extract the purest expression of the exquisite fruit this land continues to give.
