The 2023 Ashes & Diamonds Rosé is a showstopper. Made by Steve Matthiasson with Cabernet Franc from two cooler sites in Napa, the first word that comes to mind with this Rosé is precision. Bone dry and perfectly balanced, delicate wild strawberry jump from the glass and dance across the palate. Crisp and refreshing with a deceptively full mouthfeel, this is a truly great Rosè from Ashes & Diamonds.
Ashes & Diamonds, ‘a love letter to the Napa Valley of the 1960s,’ has set out to revive this storied era’s pioneering energy. Kashy Khaledi, whose father Darioush owns his own esteemed, eponymous winery near-by, built Ashes & Diamonds through collaboration, seeking the participation of Napa’s great contemporary voices in viticulture and enology. Kashy was compelled to investigate the nuances of the vineyard’s original plantings, Cabernet Franc and Merlot from 1986, and has meticulously done so through organic farming and restrained winemaking.
