Scribe Winery Estate Rosé of Pinot Noir 2025

Featured at RoséFest 2026

Scribe was one of the wines at RoséFest that people kept describing as “easy,” but in the best possible way. Made from estate Pinot Noir in Sonoma, it brings together fresh strawberry, citrus, herbs, and bright acidity in a style that feels relaxed, coastal, and naturally drinkable. There is enough texture underneath it to keep the wine from feeling too simple, but the overall impression is freshness and energy from start to finish. It is the kind of rosé that disappears quickly once glasses start getting refilled.

Why We Love It at Petit Philippe

We love Scribe because it feels unmistakably California while still staying restrained and fresh. The wine has plenty of bright fruit and charm, but it avoids the heavier, sweeter style that can sometimes make domestic rosé feel tiring after a glass or two. There is also a relaxed confidence to the wine that fits the estate really well. It does not try too hard. It just drinks naturally and keeps people coming back for another pour.

Our Rosé Pick this Season

This is a great bottle for long afternoons outside when you want something fresh but still substantial enough to stay interesting. It works equally well for casual hosting, seafood dinners, or simply opening something cold at the end of the day. If you already enjoy coastal California Pinot Noir, this feels like a very natural warm-weather extension of that style.

Winemaking

Scribe farms organically on their historic Sonoma estate, where cooling influences from the San Pablo Bay help preserve acidity and freshness in Pinot Noir. The rosé is made with a gentle press and cool stainless steel fermentation to maintain purity, bright fruit, and texture without adding oak influence. The result is a rosé that feels energetic, balanced, and distinctly coastal in character.

Serving & Pairing

Serve well chilled, around 45–50°F. This wine pairs especially well with grilled shrimp, salmon, roast chicken, salads, sushi, soft cheeses, and lighter summer meals. It also works beautifully as a patio or aperitif rosé because of the bright acidity and clean finish.

Estate Overview

Scribe Winery was founded by brothers Andrew and Adam Mariani on a historic Sonoma property first planted in the 1850s. Over the last decade, the estate has become known for wines that combine California fruit with freshness, restraint, and a strong sense of place. Their Estate Rosé of Pinot Noir captures that balance especially well, delivering a California rosé that feels relaxed and approachable without losing precision or energy.
