"A unique wine made out of Grenache grapes sourced out of Edna Valley, which isn't known for Grenache. This isn't your typical Grenache wine, it is rich in tannins that can hold up with BBQ/red meat dishes."
"TOP 🚀 SECRET Excited to try this vintage once again sourced from Edna Valley AVA in San Luis Obispo County. My notes: Medium ruby color. Medium intensity aromas of raspberry, red currant, pastry and pie crust with traces of allspice with developing characteristics. Compared to the 2018 vintage this 2019 vintage is more fruit-forward and lower alcohol (13.6 ABV) with still the balanced medium acidity and dry palate, medium intensity aromas of same with additional tobacco leaf traces, medium tannins, and great structure and body with a long finish. Outstanding wine, can drink now has potential for further aging. Check out my video review on YouTube here: https://youtu.be/LxZuaHUwLXE"
"Several factors drew me to this Rockets Red Wine Grenache 2019. First of all, I was so excited about this producer: First of all, the winemaker is a veteran of the Air Force based out of Santa Barbara using minimal intervention winemaking methods to make his small production wines. Secondly, I can never seem to pass up a single varietal Grenache! I opened up this bottle at 5 o’clock one Friday afternoon to celebrate the beginning of the weekend. It was medium-bodied, with present tannins and notes of strawberry, cedar, and cherry cola."
"I bought this wine for the label and fell in love with flavors of cranberry, bright red fruit 🍒 , fresh fig, subtle hints of rosemary 🪴 and milk chocolate 🍫 . THIS IS THE PERFECT THANKSGIVING WINE. Pair this wine with roast turkey 🍗 or chicken, less spicy Asian dishes like pho 🍜 and pad see ew."

"I recommend you try this with its sister wine, the 2020 Rosé Pinot Noir, so you can taste the difference between two wines made using the same grapes."
"PET NAT!! If you aren’t familiar with Pétillant Naturel wines - Pet Nat for short - it’s what the cool kids are drinking now. Before you commit the wine to final fermentation or riddling you capture the wine with enough CO2 inside to create natural carbonation during the final fermentation. Jason does a great job with this and his still rosé is also worth a visit - some lees and American oak builds structure during fermentation. You can serve this Pet Nat as a traditional sparkling wine in a flute, I’m tasting today in a claret glass to capture all of the flavors and aromas for you. … Review: pale strawberry color, medium intensity aromas of raspberry, strawberry, blossom, pastry crust, with hints of white peach and nectarine with developing characteristics. Medium [+] acidity and Demi sec dryness on the palate with creamy mousse and medium [+] intensity flavors of same with light tannins medium alcohol and a bit of white pepper notes on the lingering finish. Very good wine, drink now - in a large glass to grab all the flavors. … Full video review here 👉🏼 https://youtu.be/SL_CTUudoWw"

"A unique wine made out of Grenache grapes sourced out of Edna Valley, which isn't known for Grenache. This isn't your typical Grenache wine, it is rich in tannins that can hold up with BBQ/red meat dishes."
"TOP 🚀 SECRET Excited to try this vintage once again sourced from Edna Valley AVA in San Luis Obispo County. My notes: Medium ruby color. Medium intensity aromas of raspberry, red currant, pastry and pie crust with traces of allspice with developing characteristics. Compared to the 2018 vintage this 2019 vintage is more fruit-forward and lower alcohol (13.6 ABV) with still the balanced medium acidity and dry palate, medium intensity aromas of same with additional tobacco leaf traces, medium tannins, and great structure and body with a long finish. Outstanding wine, can drink now has potential for further aging. Check out my video review on YouTube here: https://youtu.be/LxZuaHUwLXE"
"Several factors drew me to this Rockets Red Wine Grenache 2019. First of all, I was so excited about this producer: First of all, the winemaker is a veteran of the Air Force based out of Santa Barbara using minimal intervention winemaking methods to make his small production wines. Secondly, I can never seem to pass up a single varietal Grenache! I opened up this bottle at 5 o’clock one Friday afternoon to celebrate the beginning of the weekend. It was medium-bodied, with present tannins and notes of strawberry, cedar, and cherry cola."
"I bought this wine for the label and fell in love with flavors of cranberry, bright red fruit 🍒 , fresh fig, subtle hints of rosemary 🪴 and milk chocolate 🍫 . THIS IS THE PERFECT THANKSGIVING WINE. Pair this wine with roast turkey 🍗 or chicken, less spicy Asian dishes like pho 🍜 and pad see ew."

Rockets Red Rosé Grenache, 2019
This Rosé was made with the saignée method, which produces a richer kind of rose than other methods. This winemaking technique shows through in its fantastic color - a deep magenta. Expect aromas of cherry, raspberry and minerality - accompanied by great acid and a refreshing finish.

"PET NAT!! If you aren’t familiar with Pétillant Naturel wines - Pet Nat for short - it’s what the cool kids are drinking now. Before you commit the wine to final fermentation or riddling you capture the wine with enough CO2 inside to create natural carbonation during the final fermentation. Jason does a great job with this and his still rosé is also worth a visit - some lees and American oak builds structure during fermentation. You can serve this Pet Nat as a traditional sparkling wine in a flute, I’m tasting today in a claret glass to capture all of the flavors and aromas for you. … Review: pale strawberry color, medium intensity aromas of raspberry, strawberry, blossom, pastry crust, with hints of white peach and nectarine with developing characteristics. Medium [+] acidity and Demi sec dryness on the palate with creamy mousse and medium [+] intensity flavors of same with light tannins medium alcohol and a bit of white pepper notes on the lingering finish. Very good wine, drink now - in a large glass to grab all the flavors. … Full video review here 👉🏼 https://youtu.be/SL_CTUudoWw"
