Day Wines Babycheeks Rosé Rogue Valley 2021
A perennial favorite released each Spring, our Babycheeks rosé offers something different from the typical Oregon rosé blend. Looking for a balance of acidity, fruit, and a hint of tannic grip, Babycheeks is a blend of thicker-skinned, warm-climate varietals: Malbec, Tannat, and Cabernet Franc.
This blend from the Applegate and Rogue Valley showcases notes of underripe strawberry, rose, almond, wet stone, yellow cherry, yellow plum, pink apple all with floral sensibility. Crisp and structured, Babycheeks pairs nicely with anything off of the grill, as well as complementing light courses, and light conversations.

Winemaking: Grapes are direct-pressed, with minimal time on skins, into a stainless-steel tank to settle overnight. No sulfur is added at the press pan. Juice is then racked off gross lees into neutral French barrels to ferment au naturel—we do not use commercial yeasts, enzymes, or fining agents. Wine is allowed to slowly complete fermentation for six months, at which point it is racked and consolidated into a stainless-steel tank. The wine was not fined or filtered, and malo-lactic fermentation was allowed to complete. A light use of sulfur is added prior to bottling. 680 cases produced.
Reviews
Wine Enthgusiast – “A rosé made with Malbec, Tannat and Cabernet Franc is not something you find every day in Oregon. Which is unfortunate if they are all as good as the Babycheeks. It has nectarine, quince and shortbread aromas, along with quick bursts of wet rocks, Thai basil, wet rocks and strawberry margaritas. Well-structured with zippy acidity and flavors such as strawberry lemonade, tangerines and a rhubarb tart. The Babycheeks is fun personified.” (92 Pts)
