Get ready for the HEAT!!…It’s going to get up to 109 degrees these next couple of weeks so what could be more appropriate than drinking a cold, crisp Rosé? Capitol Cellars has a wonderful collection of the best Rosés from California’s exclusive wineries. They are extremely limited - so if you can’t make it to our very cool (pun intended) wine cellar then give us a call and we will be happy to hold them for you.
KRUPP BROTHERS 2016 “The Damsel” Napa Valley ROSÉ
80% Tempranillo and 20% Syrah and truly an amazing Rose. It’s creamy and lovely with great acid and you can only get it at Capitol Cellars…while it lasts.
A lush coral color, this wine brims with bright cherry, raspberry and orange peel. Layers of succulent strawberry, roasted marshmallow and tart cherry are interlaced with vibrant acidity. The 2016 vintage saw strong winter rainfall with an early bud break that was followed by temperate weather without significant rain, frost or heat spikes leading to balanced vines that yielded fruit with excellent concentration, tannin and ripeness. Pair with little gem lettuce, goat cheese, blood orange and walnut salad or grilled salmon tacos. ONLY 200 Cases produced!
CAPITOL CELLARS Price $32.95
TURTLE ROCK 2016 “Willow’s Tickled Pink” Paso Robles GRENACHE ROSÉ
This is a small, family-owned winery located in Paso Robles. Don and Claudia Burns’ winemaking philosophy is simple: you can’t make great wine without great fruit. They source their fruit from some of the finest vineyards in the Templeton Gap area of Paso Robles. Through sustainable farming practices, low yields, and harvesting at optimal ripeness, they are able to make wines with both intensity and balance.

EPOCH 2016 “Willow Creek” Paso Robles GRENACHE GSM ROSÉ
This wine is made by talented winemaker Jordan Fiorentini and consulting winemaker Justin Smith (of Saxum fame). Justin was also intrumental in the development of the vineyards, which are planted on the west side of Paso Robles.
Jordan has an undergraduate degree in engineering from Dartmouth College and a masters degree in viticulture from UC Davis. Jordan earned her spurs working at her family's winery in Georgia (yes, they really do make wine in Georgia!), at Araujo Estate in Napa Valley, Antinori Winery in Italy (where she met her husband), and, most recently, as head winemaker at Chalk Hill in Sonoma.
48% Mourvèdre | 36% Grenache | 16% Syrah…offers a wonderful nose of strawberries and citrus that is beautifully balanced and refreshing!

He has come to be a Napa Valley veteran after many years of working with some of the most highly-acclaimed and sought after wines from the Napa Valley.
This Rosé is made from 100% Syrah grapes. Call it a mix of California sunshine and some good ol' fashion know-how from Provence. Hand picked from just a few select, expertly managed vineyards within Napa Valley and the Sierra Foothills, Azur Rosé can be enjoyed by just about anyone, any day and anytime. The pale salmon color belies the deliciously refreshing strawberry and watermelon fruit layered with intriguing mineral notes that glide over the palate like silk.
