KYSELA PERE ET FILS, LTD.

"Established in 1997, The Benches vineyard (formerly Wallula Vineyards) was formed by a group of Long Shadows investors, including founder Allen Shoup. The Benches are located 20 minutes southeast of Pasco on the Washington side of the Columbia River. Winemaker Gilles Nicault heads this project. This fantastic value Rose is named after the founder's granddaughter. While a slight touch behind the last vintage in terms of richness and brightness, this is a tremendous effort from this vintage that saw serious heat spikes. Composed of just 1% Sangiovese alongside the rest Pinot Gris. This wine has rose petals, strawberry and guava puree on the nose. The palate has Gala apple, red raspberry, guava and fresh picked strawberries with a light cream finish alongside a lovely minerality. (Best 2016-2021) - O.B."

"One serious Rosé, that’s shockingly made all from Pinot Gris, the light pink colored 2015 Julia’s Dazzle offers classic notes of strawberries, spice and hints of cherry blossom in a fresh, vibrant, yet still textured style. It’s seriously good, and well worth checking out."

"The 2014 Long Shadows 'Julia’s Dazzle' is a gorgeous Rosé, composed of Pinot Grigio with a splash of Sangiovese. The nose possesses beautiful fresh aromas of strawberry, guava and white peach, which burst from the glass. On the palate this has vibrant acidity and wonderful minerality leading to the finish, which is marked by notes of strawberry, guava, pear. (Best 2015-2017) - OB."
