This wine is\u00a0crazy<\/b>. And by that we mean, crazy amazing<\/strong><\/span>! “Pink Flag” rose from Amplify Wines<\/strong> is really unlike any other rose we’ve tasted this year. I mean, that hazy crazy beautiful color alone is mind-blowing! When you pour a glass and hold it up to the sun, you notice how its silken texture flows and shimmers in the most summery, let’s-get-on-a-boat-right-now kind of way. Take a sip, and your palate is pleasantly shocked with an amped up grapefruit brightness, which is perfectly tempered by refreshing salinity and satiny, nutty richness. You should definitely drink it while listening to Wire’s influential album of the same name \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

How do they do it? Well, the way this wine is made is very, very unusual.\u00a0 Husband & wife winemakers\u00a0Cameron & Marlen Porter<\/strong> age\u00a050% of the wine under flor<\/a>, using a method similar to that used to make Vin Jaune or Sherry<\/strong>. This contributes the sea salt, almond, saline character. The other half of the wine is more reminiscent of classic Bandol ros\u00e9. The marriage of these two styles makes for a very complete, savory ros\u00e9, one that expresses a new side of the Santa Barbara’s famed Camp 4 Vineyard<\/strong> through the Counoise grape.<\/p>\n

Our enjoyment of this wine is even greater because of the ethos of Cameron & Marlen, who were born and raised in Santa Barbara County.\u00a0They believe in native yeast fermentations<\/strong>; neutral vessels for fermentation and aging<\/strong>; no additions of any kind<\/strong> except for minimum effective sulfur dioxide; and farming that seeks to establish a healthy ecosystem<\/strong>, enhancing and supporting the natural characteristics of a given place.<\/p>\n

The exploration, and elevation, of their California growing region has been their life’s work. They first bonded over a shared love for wine and music, and Amplify is a natural extension of this marriage between their two greatest passions. As winemakers, they seek to amplify the voice of site and enhance the most singular characteristics of a given vineyard, marrying a sense of place with a sense of style. They embrace the happy accident, letting intuition guide their hand, with their creative spirit and palates as their primary tools.<\/p>\n
