Pursued by Bear Blushing Bear Rose 2025

Its pale salmon hue offers a first impression of elegance and finesse. Aromas of wild strawberry, white nectarine, and rose petal are lifted by a bright note of citrus peel. e palate unfolds with layers of watermelon, Rainier cherry, and ripe raspberry, accented by a subtle hint of crushed herbs. Crisp acidity brings lift and definition, carrying the wine to a clean, polished finish.
 

APPELLATION: Walla Walla Valley
VINEYARDS: Los Oidos, Kenny Hill

Sourced from select Walla Walla Valley vineyards, the grapes were hand-harvested and gently whole-cluster pressed to preserve delicate aromatics and clarity of flavor.

Fermented and aged exclusively in stainless steel, the wine retains vivid fruit expression, bright acidity, and lifted aromatics, resulting in a rosé defined by vibrancy, precision, and purity.

Actor Kyle Maclachlan (Twin Peaks, Blue Velvet, The Doors, and many other films) is a native of Washington State's Columbia Valley winegrowing region.  Washington State wine has brought Kyle back home to the Pacific Northwest to craft small lots of limited production red wines and a rosé that speak to the promise of this special terroir.  Not with nostalgia, but with a new story to tell… a story of uncompromising quality and unlimited possibility.

Kyle felt connected to nature from his earliest memories, growing up among his father’s expansive gardens and the gnarled old fruit trees of Yakima, Washington.  His interest in wine began in the mid-1980's after moving to Los Angeles to pursue his acting career.   Frequently returning to Yakima to visit his father and his home, he began to explore the burgeoning Washington wine scene.  Later, inspired by friends in Napa Valley, the notion of making his own Washington wine took hold.  Kyle set out to create Cabernet Sauvignon and Syrah that expressed the local terroir - an alluring mix of Old World elegance and New World grandeur.  It wasn't long before a chance meeting with Walla Walla winemaker Eric Dunham led to a simple handshake that launched Pursued by Bear in 2005.  In 2008, Eric passed the winemaking baton to veteran winemaker Daniel Wampfler, who continues to craft Pursued by Bear wines with the same passion and care that Eric inspired.
