Kenzo Estate Rosé Napa Yui 2020

Once again, Kenzo’s boutique Rosé is absolutely captivating from the first sip! This salmon-hued thriller races out with a plethora of fresh raspberry, creamy strawberry, ruby red grapefruit notes plus hints of spring flowers. The mid-palate flexes a bit of muscle, and then features ripe red strawberry in a memorable finish. This is a perfect Spring and Summer sipper that will thrill over the next year + age for at least two more years so stock up and savor every sip!”

Kenzo Estate Winery

Kenzo Tsujimoto first achieved success as the founder of Capcom, a Japanese developer and publisher of video games. During that time, he became enchanted with the Napa Valley after the historic 1976 Judgment of Paris, which launched Napa Valley wines onto the world stage. His affinity for California wine country and vision to build an outdoor retreat led him to a 3,800-acre mountain valley in Napa’s southeast corner.

In 2003, celebrated winemaker Heidi Barrett joined the team. Dubbed by Time Magazine as “The Wine Diva of Napa Valley,” Barrett crafted some of the most sought-after Napa Valley cult wines, including Screaming Eagle and Dalla Valle. Both Kenzo and his wife and COO Natsuko Tsujimoto were captivated by Barrett’s elegant, artistic approach to winemaking.
