Ultramarine, Sparkling Rose Hirsch Vineyard, 2020

Méthode champenoise rosé from one of California's most unforgiving and rewarding vineyard sites—3 miles from the Pacific at 1,400 feet elevation on the Sonoma Coast. Hirsch Vineyard's maritime extremes (fog, wind, dramatic temperature swings) and sandstone soils create Pinot Noir with remarkable mineral intensity and energy. This sparkling version benefits from extended lees aging, building autolytic complexity and texture. Tiny production. This is not a party wine—it's a wine for tasting, for conversation, for understanding how place shapes flavor. Serve well-chilled; pair with oysters, grilled fish, or simply drink it thoughtfully.
