I would like to confirm the wine you have written about since it is a little bit unclear. We have not produced a Rosa Lee Pinot Noir since 2004 and it was a light fruity wine that retailed in our tasting room only for $20.

Since 2004, we have been producing both a red and white wine under the Rosa Lee (mom) designation and the varietals being produced change every year. 2004 Rosa Lee Zinfandel, 2005 Rosa Lee Riesling, 2005 Rosa Lee Petit Verdot, 2006 Rosa Lee Sauvignon Blanc, 2006 Rosa Lee Syrah, 2007 Rosa Lee Gewurztraminer, Coming 2007 Rosa Lee Petit Syrah, 2008 Rosa Lee Viognier, 2008 Rosa Lee Mouvedre. These wines are all small production and only sold by the winery.

Based on your wine description, I am guessing you were writing about our 2006 Reserve Pinot Noir which retails in our tasting room for $60. Since you mention Syrah in your description, it is also possible you were tasting our 2006 Rosa Lee Syrah which was released and sold out last Spring.

More importatnly, I would like to follow up on the last sentence of your blog which gives me great concern. “It was kind of like “movem in movem out” and they really pushed the sale.” We apologize for not providing the best experience you had while visiting wineries in the Napa Valley.
