I was pleasantly surprised by this sparkling blend of 90% Chardonnay and 10% Pinot Noir. The 2011 Mineral Springs Brut Rosé has spent three years en tirage, further it's hand riddled and production is limited to 50 cases. Salmon-hued with a delicate mousse, it's a lovely juxtaposition between fruit and brisk acidity. Racy tangerine and fresh raspberry notes lead into a base layer of cherry clafoutis crowned with a dollop of cream. A mineral-driven finish laden with chalk and crushed stone cut through mid-palate richness. 12.8% ABV

Best yet. Strawberries and raspberries, balanced structure with depth and breadth. Fantastic after three days of opening.

Embarrassed that it has taken so long to sell the last bottle, but well worth! Hope to see the new stuff soon.
