Starts out pleasant, but after 20 min in the glass, it’s really singing. I’m not usually moved by sparkling rosé but this is a real standout. Cranberry, dark cherry cordial, pomegranate, apricot kernel, almond liqueur, gingerbread spice, and rose geranium carry over from the nose to the palate. Dry, structured, and slightly tart, with a fine, lightly prickly mousse. The color is a deep cranberry red, almost more like a mid-weight Lambrusco thank a classic rosé, and the flavors are accordingly intense—which makes this an unexpectedly versatile wine for food pairing. I had it with moderately spicy Kashmiri-style fried chicken and it was a perfect match.

Excellent for $24. Deep cranberry tartness. Would be excellent outside wine.
