Boyd Family Vineyard 2010 Rose Ruby Tuesday Napa Valley

Boyd Family Vineyard

After the previous two years’ resounding success (we sold out in 1 day last year) we are back with more Ruby Tuesday Rosé for this summer. As you’ll recall Ruby Tuesday (1989-2004) was our barn kitty who we inherited with the 1998 purchase of the vineyard property. Within days of our arrival she made the move from barn to house and became a permanent feature of our new home. 20 years ago we visited the South of France and fell in love with the dry crisp Rosé served in Provence. Produced in the same French style by

harvesting at 22° brix from 100% whole cluster pressed Syrah, the wine is bright, light and refreshing on a warm summer day.
It is a versatile accompaniment for summer lunch or your Thanksgiving Day turkey. Totally dry, fruity and lower in alcohol, this wine is a perfect choice instead of a white wine.
This summer, fill your glass with this chilled Rosé and toast…
“Goodbye Ruby Tuesday”.

The Story
Beginning in 1998 when we purchased our property on Big Ranch Road in Napa, we held a vision that very special wines and memories could be created in this location. Since then over 20,000 vines of Merlot, Syrah, Cabernet Franc, Malbec and Cabernet Sauvignon have been planted, tended, nurtured, harvested, crushed and coaxed into fine wine.

The vineyard is located in the Oak Knoll Appellation of the Napa Valley which is known for its' slightly cooler climate and clay soils. This environment produces ultra-premium Merlot and Syrah used in many of Napa Valley's most sought after wines.

Today, while we still sell over 95% of our grapes to other premium wineries we also produce very limited quantities of ultra-premium wine. These wines are produced using only the best materials and practices in search of creating wines that reflect a full-bodied style that express the best attributes of the land.
