2024 Rosé of Pinot Noir
We are thrilled to unveil the latest gem in The Calling’s collection of wines – introducing the 2024 Fox Den Vineyard Rosé of Pinot Noir. Sourced from the heart of the Russian River Valley, crafted with care and precision, this limited release of 50 cases has been created seclusively for our club members. This Rosé comes alive with delicate aromas of white floral and hints of melon. On the palate, notes of chilled watermelon and alpine strawberry shine through, offering a clean, crisp, and refreshingly fresh finish.
James MacPhail's Notes
Named for a family of foxes who have occupied the Smith family’s idyllic vineyard for over 50 years, Fox Den Vineyard sits on the western edge of the Russian River Valley, with ideal conditions for growing world-class Pinot Noir. We partner with three generations of Smith family members to select grapes that bring balance, maturity, and structure to our Fox Den Vineyard Pinot Noir.
Being just 12 miles from the coast, Fox Den Vineyard offers moderate daytime temperatures, cool nights, and early morning fog, resulting in a very long growing season and ideal conditions for Pinot Noir. Our grapes achieve the right balance and maturity with optimal sugar levels, ripe tannins, and high acid, yielding a very dense, complex, and delicate wine.
