Hey, so while we have your attention, head over to our Facebook group and you’ll find an uber-secret, once-classified, much re-requested (demanded more like it) 2019 Mt Veeder Cabernet. If you aren’t yet in the group, get in there for the intel on this very limited deal on one of our most popular Cabs ever. If you’re already on the inside, here’s a link to the post.

Now let’s keep this rose train running. The 2022 went quick but FEAR not…. 2023 is coming in fresh and HOT!

FEARLESS (Wine Spies Version). T Swift might have blasted through every music industry record over the last few years, and we all shed a tear in December when the Eras Tour came to an end. Right? RIGHT?!

Whether you’re a swiftie or not, you’re gonna want to get on board our own FEARLESS tour. Well, mini tour. Actually, it’s not a tour at all. It’s a wine. And it’s only $20, so you don’t need to take a second mortgage on your home to get entry.

A fresh-making, zippy, juicy, lip-smackingly tasty Rosé. And you thought all we sold was Napa Cab around here, didn’t you?!

This scores high on the “yum factor” thanks to the brilliant winemaking skills of Chelsea Hoff, that is!

Hoff is old school Napa. Her family moved from Minnesota when she was young and she caught the bug early, taking more high school chemistry classes than most. She learned from the most well respected winemakers in the Valley and she’s helped craft some of the most cult wines too.

She graduated from UC Davis and went on to make wine internationally with Chateau Smith Haut Lafitte in Bordeaux and Charles Melton Wines in Adelaide Australia. More locally, she’s worked with Jesse Katz of Aperture & Devil Proof brands and under Thomas Rivers Brown and Heidi Barrett, the Queen of Napa Valley herself.

Hoff’s fam also founded Fantesca Estate & Winery tucked into Spring Mountain where she is still the Assistant Winemaker. And if you know Fantesca, you know they do not play around. Serious, serious wines.

So, while the label and bottle might look a little whimsical, be sure on one thing - this has ALL the chops you want in a lively rose. In 2016, Hoff created Fearless Wines as her own passion project, focusing on well crafted, interesting wines at a reasonable price point.

As is the practice with the best of the best in Napa Valley, they find the best vineyard to craft their master pieces. This Rose of Grenache comes from Santa Barbara County, the Ballard Canyon AVA to be specific. Ballard Canyon is known for premium Rhone varietals.

This Rose of Grenache is so perfect for your Springtime hankerings. Bright acid, fresh strawberries and raspberries with lovely notes of herb and minerality. A literal burst of sunshine in the glass is waiting for you.

You better stock up because a passion project means there’s only so much to go around!
