Scholium Project Rose "Rhododactylos" 2016

100% Cinsault from Bechtold Ranch in Lodi, one of the oldest vineyards in California. Gently whole cluster pressed, then fermented in barrel. Nervy, racy rose. Get red berries and cherries, with great acid and a healthy dollop of salinity. Killer match for oysters and firm-fleshed seafood. "Rhododactylos" = "rosy-fingered," Homer's description of Eos, Goddess of the Dawn.
