POE Wines, founded by Samantha Sheehan in 2009, is dedicated to producing vineyard-specific, age-worthy wines that showcase the unique terroir of California. The 2018 Brut Rosé of Pinot Meunier from Van der Kamp Vineyard exemplifies this philosophy, offering a distinctive expression of this lesser-seen varietal.
- WINEMAKER: Samantha Sheehan
- FARMING: Practicing organic
- VARIETY: 100% Pinot Meunier
- TERROIR: Situated at the apex of Sonoma Mountain, Van der Kamp Vineyard is home to some of California's oldest Pinot Noir vines, planted in 1953. The 2.7-acre block of Pinot Meunier was established in the early 1990s. The vineyard's high elevation and diverse soils contribute to the wine's vibrant acidity and complex flavor profile.
- VINIFICATION: Grapes are hand-harvested and undergo whole-cluster pressing. Fermentation is carried out using native yeasts in neutral French oak barrels to preserve the varietal's delicate aromatics and enhance texture.
- AGING: The wine is aged sur lie in neutral oak for 18 months, followed by an additional three years on the lees after secondary fermentation in the bottle, enhancing its complexity and mouthfeel.
- TASTING NOTES: Electric in the glass, this bright, refreshing sparkler is floral with lively acidity. Aromas of crushed rose and fresh strawberry are complemented by notes of ripe peach and apricot. The palate reveals subtle spice and a lovely texture, achieving a perfect balance with its acidity.
- FOOD PAIRINGS: This versatile sparkling rosé pairs well with grilled shrimp, trout, smoked chicken salad, and a variety of light appetizers.
- SCORES: Wine Enthusiast: 94 points for the 2015 vintage – "This lovely sparkler combines 70% Pinot Noir and 30% Pinot Meunier. It was given 18 months in neutral oak and three years for the wine to remain on the lees. Classically structured, it offers nuances of oyster shell, wild strawberry and lemon, while being high-toned, racy and fresh."
The 2018 Brut Rosé of Pinot Meunier from POE Wines reflects Samantha Sheehan's commitment to minimal intervention winemaking, resulting in a sparkling wine that authentically expresses the character of the Van der Kamp Vineyard and the unique qualities of Pinot Meunier.
