This is a delicious Rosé Sparkling wine from Russian River Valley. Nicely balanced and elegant.

Delicate and reserved. Fruity, crisp and easy drinking. Feels like a Rosé Champagne.

Needs 45 minutes of airtime to open up properly. Worth the wait.

This vintage Sparkling wine will continue to age nicely in the next 5 to 7 years.

Weighing in at 13.5% alcohol this wine is a blend of 75% Pinot Noir and the remainder Chardonnay. Showing a brilliant near salmon color, the wine shows ripe pear with brioche and hints of wild strawberry that fill the nose. I love the mid-palate weight of the wine but despite the sturdy backbone this comes off remarkably refreshing. The palate shows a remarkable tension and salinity, yielding a wonderful range of flavors, from kumquat to Japanese pear to sourdough bread. Lithe and rich, this will cellar well for a decade or more. Drink 2018-2030- 93

This really brings the ruckus for a domestic sparkler. A mostly blanc de noirs at almost 80/20 Pinot Noir to Chardonnay. The copper color is quite distinctive, and after your eyes adjust, the fashion of it is quite taking. Bing cherry and stone fruit are laced with Meyer lemon and served of an almond paste. A simply brilliant balance of fruit, citrus, and nut. The secondary baked biscuit confirms its equal standing with many of the prominent Champagne house’s basic cuvées.

Very pale salmon color with an abundant stream of tiny bubbles with red berry, toast, stone fruit, and a hint of nutmeg aromas. On the palate it's fresh and balanced with an enticingly creamy mousse and raspberry, white peach, blood orange, and kiss of ginger and lime flavors with an appealing minerality and very giving finish. Blend of 78% Pinot Noir 22% Chardonnay. 13.5% abv

Best known for its Sparkling Wines, which have been served at the White House since 1985, beginning with the historic U.S.-Russian Summit Meetings ending the Cold War. A blend of 78% Pinot Noir and 22% Chardonnay & aged 3 years prior to release, showing aromas of red fruit, citrus and spice. Raspberry and cherry flavors come forth with orange zest, earthy spice and tiny flowing bubbles. The wine is well balanced, gentle acidity, some yeast and minerality on the lingering finish. Celebrate! Tasting Sample

Great sparkling Rose from one of my favorite domestic producers of the stuff.

Stroll into the evening. An average sparkler at best. Very heady with an strong nose of uncooked dough. Nectarine, white peach and carnation pack the finish of this Cali Blend.
