This year we decided to extend the Waves line by adding a rose and a red wine. Our ideal rose for a can is light and zippy with big fruit, so we turned to zinfandel, petite syrah, and carignan varieties that are not necessarily the obvious choice for a rose, but that we never get tired of playing with and taking in unexpected directions. This combination of varieties gives us that freshness we crave, with aromas of pomegranate, red plum, white cherry, and hints of forest. The palate shows plum and white cherry in abundance, plus bright acidity and a light sparkle that makes this a fun wine to enjoy out of the can or in a glass.
