Wine By Nine

Ros? Wine by I'M from Napa Valley, California. Our second vintage of the Napa Valley Rose was inspired by and made for Isabel Mondavi, by her son Rob. The special relationship shared by Isabel and Rob allows him to interpret and develop her desires into a finished product. Rob is not only the winemaker, but he also came up with the brand name, the I'M are her initials. Not new to the wine industry, Isabel has witnessed the business first hand for 39 years and now has designed wines which reflect her own style. The Rose is made in the Saignee style (see below for definition). Saignee is a process which not only lends itself to the production of a Rose wine, but also enhances the quality and richness of a red wine. I'M Rose is a dry wine with good structure, acidity, and an enjoyable long finish. The acidity lends itself well to diverse styles of food. Last year the family enjoyed the wine at the Thanksgiving table. And yes, it was a traditional turkey dinner. They have also enjoyed this wine with Thai and other haute-Asian cuisines.
