Sans Wine Co. Rose of Carignan.jpg

Fresh raspberry, bright carnations, strawberry lemonade. Rainier cherry, crushed gravel, cubed watermelon. Cucumber and clean rhubarb, cranberry and white gummy bear. Gushing fresh, lively, natural fruitiness with a tart zip and a complex mineral core. Substantial in concentration yet crisp and acid-driven, inclining towards structured red fruit in lieu of the paradigmatic soft peaches and cream. Lean despite its richness and thought-provoking despite its thirst-quenchability. Rarely does a bubblegum-pink exterior open up reveal this level of refinement. This 2017 Poor Ranch Vineyards Rosé of Carignan by Sans Wine Co. is world class rosé in a can.

Throw away your preconceptions towards canned wine. Glass may be classic and classy, but ultimately it provides no measurable advantage as a beverage receptacle. This wine, crafted using 100% Carignan sourced from 3 separate blocks of the Poor Ranch Vineyard in Mendocino County, is absolutely captivating regardless of what it is packaged in. It is bright, juicy, and flavorful showing off both expressive fruit and clean mineral tones. This is California rosé that intentionally expresses energy and verve, rather than merely eking out an existence as the byproduct of red wine. Its understandable that cans may have left a stale taste in your mouth, but Sans Wine Co. is here to lead the redemption of aluminum. This is exactly the rosé you've been looking for.
