Reeve Wines 'Remy Saves the Sea' Rosé of Carignan, Mendocino County, California 2025

Founded in 2015 by Noah and Kelly Dorrance in Healdsburg, Reeve Wines is a small-production label built around cool-climate Northern California terroir. Noah — who previously co-founded Banshee Wines — drives the winemaking vision at Reeve, hand-selecting vineyards across the Anderson Valley, Mendocino County, and Sonoma Coast for their singular combination of site, farming, and character. The 'Remy Saves the Sea' project is a father-daughter collaboration between Noah and his daughter Remy, conceived to raise money and awareness for ocean conservation. Since its inaugural 2019 vintage, the project has partnered with 1% For the Planet, directing 1% of winery revenues to the 5 Gyres Institute — a global leader in plastic pollution research and advocacy.

• WINEMAKER: Noah Dorrance with Katy Wilson
• FARMING: Practicing Organic
• VARIETY: 100% Carignan
• TERROIR: Sourced from a single vineyard in Mendocino County planted approximately 80 years ago. Vines are grown on red clay soils, which contribute structure and mineral tension to the finished wine. Mendocino County's cool coastal air and pronounced diurnal shifts preserve natural acidity and aromatic lift.
• VINIFICATION: Grapes were hand-harvested in the early morning hours and transferred directly to tank via gentle whole-cluster pressing. Fermentation took place at cool temperatures to protect aromatic freshness.
• AGING: Aged entirely in stainless steel. 12.9% abv.
• TASTING NOTES: Just-ripe raspberry, peach, and orange zest on the nose and palate, with a finish of fresh herbs, lemon peel, and sea spray.
• FOOD PAIRINGS: Oysters, grilled branzino, niçoise salad, fresh chèvre, or simply on its own.
