Côte Bonneville DuBrul Vineyard Cabernet Franc Rosé · Yakima Valley, Washington · 2024

The Moment

This is the rosé you open when you want something serious — but still joyful.

Estate-grown. Intentionally crafted. Not an afterthought.

Bright fruit, lifted aromatics, and that unmistakable Yakima Valley precision make this a bottle for long evenings, shared plates, and the kind of quiet confidence that doesn’t need to shout.

What It Feels Like

The nose is expressive and layered — red berries, watermelon rind, and citrus peel rising first, followed by subtle floral tones and a faint mineral lift.

On the palate, it’s dry and structured with bright acidity carrying the fruit cleanly across the mid-palate. Strawberry, citrus zest, and a whisper of stone give it energy and clarity.

Medium-bodied for a rosé, but never heavy. Balanced. Focused. Refreshing.

The finish is crisp and persistent — more mineral edge than sweetness, more elegance than flash.

Why We Love This Bottle

Because it proves rosé can be both beautiful and intentional.

The Cabernet Franc is grown specifically for this wine — not pulled from leftovers — and you can taste that care in every sip. It’s Washington precision wrapped in summer light.

About the Vineyard

DuBrul Vineyard sits on rocky, south-facing hillsides in the Yakima Valley, farmed by Kathy and Hugh Shiels. Low-fertility soils and thoughtful vineyard management create fruit with purity and depth.

Winemaker Kerry Shiels crafts wines known for classic structure and balance — and this rosé reflects that same philosophy.
