From the idiosyncratic Californian champion of Rhône varieties, Randall Grahm (AKA the ‘Rhône Ranger’), comes this delicious rosé predominantly based on Grenache, with a little Cinsaut and friends thrown in for good measure. The palest dusty pink, it’s soft and inviting, with strawberry and cream fruits with a lift of minerality, a dry but silky palate, and a fresh chalky finish. Yum with a capital USA!

By seeking and blundering, we learn. In the 80s, Randall Grahm’s mistake was attempting to replicate Burgundy in Central Coast, California. Thankfully, the best of us learn from life’s lessons; Randall persevered and discovered the massive potential of Rhône varieties in California. And in 1986, they got their due – Bonny Doon Vineyard released the 1984 Le Cigare Volant, a triumphant homage to a classic Southern Rhône red. The wine continues to be the flagbearer today. The discovery led to a series of impressive innovations. Randall and Bonny Doon Vineyard became the first to popularise Rhône varieties in California, they were the first to promote screwcaps for premium wines, and first to embrace labelling transparency. The success of these initiatives propelled Bonny Doon Vineyard to unfathomable heights. As of today, the focus is back on producing terroir-driven wines, with a lighter more sustainable approach. Bonny Doon Vineyard is back to what they do best and it's all about Rhône, just like Randell planned all along.
