Yosemite Cellars

2016 Rose Wines Are Here!

Rose is back at Yosemite Cellars! Our 2016 Grenache Rose and our new 2016 Field Blend Rose were bottled on February 22, 2017 and are available for purchase at the winery and selected other locations. The 2016 Grenache Rose is true to the heritage of prior vintages of this wine with brillant color, crisp acidity and notes of white raspberry and citrus zest. New to the Yosemite Cellars line-up in 2016 is a Field Blend Rose made from Tannat and Syrah. This Field Blend Rose is dry and full of fruit flavors. Can't wait for you to taste it!

The Return of Rim Fire Red!

Just when you thought it was gone forever, the phoenix arises! Yes, out of the ash of one of the largest wildfires in California history, Rim Fire Red is back! When we blended the original Rim Fire Red in 2015, we held in reserve some of the 2013 "smoky wine" with no specific plan for its use. After Rim Fire Red sold out last August, we decided to construct a new version of Rim Fire Red  that combines the smoky wine of 2013 with a blend of fruit from the 2015 harvest. For those of you who enjoyed the original version of this blended wine, we think you'll find the newer blend equally as enjoyable.  Bottled on February 22, 2017 the newest version of Rim Fire Red is available for purchase now!
