Vintage Wine Name Young Leon Frizzane Rosé 2020 Vintage 2020 Wine Description Leon Brendel started making rosé in the early 1950s. Napa wasn’t known for it. Hardly anyone was doing it. But he did it anyway. And he did it well. This Sparkling Rosé is a tribute to him, made with organic grapes, and a hint of rebellion, just as he would have it. Region Napa Appellation Napa Valley Varietal Composition 100% Grignolino Tasting notes Light carbonation helps elevate the refreshing and succulent characteristics of this wine making it extremely drinkable and easy to enjoy.

Alcohol % 11 Aging 8 months in stainless steel SRP 35 Highest Score 92, Wine Enthusiast Highest Score Review Copy A light amber-pink color leads to an appetizing, bone-dry palate laced with apricot, almond and tangy cherry flavors. Made from Grignolino grapes, the wine is crisp, light, mouthwatering and built for pairing with food-anything from caviar to potato chips to tuna tartare.

Feature Bullet 5 Named 2021 Winery of the Year in the Vinepair Next Wave Awards Winery Brendel Winery Description "At a time when the wine industry is grappling with attracting younger consumers — mainly Millennials — Brendel is leading the way." - Jess Lander, the San Francisco Chronicle Brendel likes to say that they have a secret ingredient: dirt. Their range of wines are made from some of the best sites in California’s most renowned regions, including the eastern side of Rutherford, the highest elevations of Howell Mountain, two diverse sites in St. Helena, a steep plot in Oak Knoll, and select sites in the Sonoma Coast. Each vineyard is chosen for its quality and unique aptitude, with soil types ranging from volcanic to clay to bring out the best in each grape in their array of wines. It’s, as they put it, good dirt. All Brendel wines are made by Heitz Cellar Director of Winemaking, Brittany Sherwood, guaranteeing high-quality wines that are made with a unique philosophy but the same Heitz integrity. Handcrafted for daily consumption and enjoyment, the wines never touch a new oak barrel, and are intended to be vibrant, fresh and pure.
