In the scenic Dry Creek Valley of Sonoma County, mother-daughter team Cynthia and Lauren Russell have launched Dancing — a modern wine brand that aims at celebrating life through multiple senses.
Dancing's approach to wine emphasizes accessibility and enjoyment as it strives to move away from the traditionally esoteric image of the wine industry. The modern wine brand's first product, a 2023 Rosé, reflects this philosophy. This limited-release wine is made from sustainably grown, hand-picked Primitivo grapes. The grapes have been harvested early to retain a vibrant and juicy character. With an alcohol content of 13.7%, the Rosé also vegan and gluten-free. The wine features a blush pink color and offers flavors of strawberry, watermelon, and floral notes, with a bright, creamy, and acidic profile suitable for various occasions.
