All hail Randall Graham of Bonny Doon, O.G. Rhone Ranger, and wine maverick! Randall was a champion of all things Rhone in California before it even became a thing. This Rosé Vin Gris de Cigare is essentially the pink version of his flagship wine, Le Cigare Volant. It’s delightful, quaffable, 92 points, and it’s the perfect buy, too, since summer is quintessential rosé season! At this price, you can gift these to your friends, family, and you can buy a couple more half-cases for yourself!  It’s clear that this wine is packed with so many incredible surprises, the best one being its price. You probably don’t want to wait around to think about whether you should or shouldn’t… you most definitely should.

This grenache-dominant rosé has a combined 70% of both grenache noir and grenache blanc, as well as cinsault, clairette blanche, mourvedre and rolle! Yes, if you didn’t know, both reds and whites are often blended together in Rhone wines, so now you have a cool tidbit of info to wow your pals with. The bright, floral, and simply electric sensations of a white wine, with the deep brambly berry core of a red, with an alchemy of pure, titillating flavor as the happy result! 

Any man that has an asteroid named after him has our respect, but when he crafts wines like this?! Pure, hedonistic idolatry. The flavors are the pure taste of summer: rose petals and fresh strawberries and raspberries, yuzu and orange creamsicle with a chalky minerality that gives the wine more dimension and depth. When have you ever been able to purchase dimension and depth for under $11 per bottle?! You gotta get six, sure, but how fast will six bottles of this stunning rosé disappear??? Incredible freshness from the strong backbone of mouth-watering acidity rounds out the whole thing for a summer sipper that we can’t wait for you to try. UNDER $65 for a six-pack? That’s nearly 70% OFF! Are you in? Hope so! We’re coming over right now!

About the Producer

Randall Grahm found himself sweeping floors at the Wine Merchant in Beverly Hills after his undergrad, an especially advantageous spot for the wine-obsessed. There, he tasted loads of fine French wines and became totally and completely hooked. He went on to earn his degree in Plant Sciences from the University of California Davis in 1979, and after graduation, purchased his first property in the Bonny Doon hamlet of the Santa Cruz Mountains with his sights laser-focused on producing the “Great American Pinot Noir.” The Great American Pinot proved to be...illusive, but Randall did find that Rhône varieties were what stuck. He continued to innovate; Bonny Doon was the first in California to work with cryo-extraction, utilize microbullage, and the first to popularize screw-caps on premium bottles. All of that creativity caused the Bonny Doon brand to effectively explode, becoming the 28th largest wine producer in the US. The wine empire didn’t hurt, but Randall decided it was time to scale it down, and sold three of Bonny Doon’s largest brands by 2010. Today, Bonny Doon’s focus is on the vineyards, crafting smaller production wines with a lighter touch, and of course, relentless innovation and creativity.

Joyous aromas of strawberry are splashed with lemon juice and pink rose petals on the nose of this bottling. The palate tightens up a bit, providing melon, tangerine-cream and wet gravel flavors atop a chalky texture.
