100% Estate Grown Merlot
Howell Mountain, Napa Valley, CA
Rahn Estate was established in 1998. After working for a consulting company evaluating soils and designing vineyards, traveling to Napa finally caught up with Bryan Rahn and he took a leap of faith and acquired the 20-acre property. Certified soil scientist, Bryan was attracted by the gravely volcanic soils and high elevation of the site and designed the hillside estate vineyards on the Howell Mountain by hand-selecting Cabernet Sauvignon root stocks and clones to fit the micro-climates. The terroir of Howell Mountain allows for nuanced and concentrated fruit flavors and balanced tannin.
Rahn Estate 2020 Rosé was made with 100% Napa Valley grapes. It was made via Saignee, the technique “to bleed” juice off of a tank with red grapes before too much color has been extracted. The juice was fermented in neutral barrels and underwent Malolactic fermentation in barrel. Malolactic fermentation is the conversion of malic acid to lactic acid using malolactic bacteria, and was done to provide a rounded finish to this wine. It was fermented completely dry, with no sugar. This wine has bright acidity with a balanced finish, with an aroma of grapefruit and red berries. – Winemaker Hannah Rahn
The vineyard is managed by this trio, each taking a different role in orchestrating the winemaking process. The family focuses on sustainable and biodynamic vineyard practices for their 4 acre estate vineyards and handcrafting complex, balanced and terroir-driven Cabernet Sauvignon. Through their consulting business, the family works with world-class winemakers in many wine regions and have had the unique opportunity to evaluate how different climates, farming practices, rootstocks and grape varieties (and their clones) influence wine.
