Grandeur is rooted in the belief that farming organically allows us to grow grapes that are in harmony with the land and craft wines that are alive in flavor. The inspiration for Grandeur comes from our first certified organic vineyard. A remote site nestled against the foothills, it has at its center a single oak tree. The gnarled trunk of this ancient Blue Oak houses a resident bee colony, an eloquent example of the symbiosis found in nature. Standing in the vineyard, the beauty and quietude make you feel as if time hasn’t touched this place. It has stood just like this, in all its grandeur, for thousands of years.
Our Rosé delights on first blush and long after, with aromas of peach, pear, and watermelon. Light to medium-bodied with a crisp finish, it awakens the palate and satisfies taste after taste with lingering notes of stone fruit and hints of the limestone that marks our land. Try it with soft cheeses, charcuterie, and seafood. Or enjoy it on its own as an exquisite apéritif.
Vineyard
Our holistic approach to organic farming sees each vineyard as an entire ecosystem where soil, trees, vines, insects, and wildlife exist together to the benefit of all. Nestled against the southernmost foothills of the Santa Lucia Range in the Hames Valley AVA, Grandeur’s vineyard home is ideally situated for growing Petite Sirah grapes. With long, warm days and chilly nights, this breathtaking site is ideal for the development of organic, high-quality fruit and beautiful, fruit-forward, complex wines.
Winemaking
Before it meets the glass before it makes the moment the moment, our Rosé begins with Petite Sirah grapes—cultivated with organic growing methods and picked carefully by hand. After harvest we move swiftly, pressing each whole cluster in a matter of hours to ensure minimal color pickup and achieve the faintest blush. Fermented with select yeast and aged in stainless steel at cool temperatures for two months, our Rosé displays bright fruit esters, sublime floral aromas, and the unmistakable essence of Grandeur.

Inspired by Beauty. Committed to Mother Nature.
Grandeur is rooted in the promise to preserve the magnificence of the land through organic growing practices and to produce wines that breathe with splendor and harmony. Within White Flower Vineyard, a single blue oak tree stands witness to the change of seasons and passage of time. Its gnarled trunk houses the vineyard’s most revered resident and the inspiration for Grandeur – a bee colony.
Our mission is simple: to craft impeccable, unforgettable wines in harmony with our planet. Using renewable energy and certified organic farming practices, Grandeur strives for better, one bottle at a time.
Thank you Casemates and Wine David for the opportunity to be a rat. We love the opportunity, and although we are not strictly Rose wine drinkers, we are glad we got the opportunity to try this wine.
UPS was late delivering this, though, no fault of Casemates. We immediately put this wine in the fridge. Dinner was preplanned to be homemade pizza with spicy sausage, mushrooms, spinach, red sauce, pepperoni, burrata, and red peppers.
The first pour was light in color. It reminded me of, oddly enough, the juice leftover from watermelon. It smelled of peach.
The taste was not as pronounced as some of the Rose wines we have tried. It was peachy and watermelon, but the flavor quickly disappeared. This wine would be good a pool party or on a hot summer day when you want an easy sipper. It is not complex or exactly memorable. It also did not stand up to the spicy sausage. It did go well with the burrata cheese.
My favorite Rose I have had recently comes from Big Table farms in Carlton, OR. This Rose had presence and made you want to buy a couple of bottles to savor. It shocked me how good it was.
This bottle, sadly, does not compare to the Big Table one. Of course, this wine is much cheaper.
I noticed this was offered before at a slightly higher price. If you bought it and liked it, this is a bargain.
Thanks again Casemates. We love being a rat.
After looking at the Casemates description, we are surprised this is Petite Syrah grapes. Petite Syrah is one of our favorites.

@ilCesare That links to a PN, not a PS
@ilCesare @rjquillin I think it’s the correct wine but PN was entered only because the taster guessed it was a PN
