Ultramarine Wines
Charles Heintz Vineyard Sparkling Pinot Noir Rosé
Sonoma Coast, Sonoma County, California, USA
One of the bottles I provided for a co-hosting with Mark at the City Club wine group. The starter before Mark’s 1979 Schramsberg mag and 1980 Montelena mag.
Tasty, but I found this different than the 2014 (still haven’t popped the 2015). Salmon color in the glass with a dash of pink. Faint strawberry marscapone, red berry fruit aromatically. Layers of strawberries and a distinct mineral and rose note, but this seemed lighter and less fruit forward than the 2014. Lovely finish. I felt the 2014 had loads of time ahead of it when I had it, but for me, this seemed either in an odd spot or at a point where it’s time to enjoy. I’d wager it’s more of the former.

It’s not Fac-Simile lol, but enjoyable with its strawberries & cream-like profile with a balanced acid cut and layered minerality. It misses the depth and concentration of an elite rosé, but for let’s say $600 less than those nowadays, it’s pretty solid, but ultimately overhyped.

First time trying this, and it’s a beauty. Nice salmon pink appearance, which evokes similar notes on the palate. Baked croissant and watermelon present, along with pomegranate. Moderately sweet with a fine mousse, this is so enjoyable. Drinking this now as we won’t make the ball drop.

Beautiful pale salmon color, explosive red florals, raspberry, orange peel, sous bois, extremely fine bead and mousse, long finish. I usually try to wait longer before opening Ultramarine, but this was so good straight away I say drink one now if you have a few! Disgorged 11.24.20 😍⚡️🔥🍾🥂

A very long waiting list for this Sparkling wine. When it finally arrived this week, I could not wait to try it. It’s pure, smokey and savory, with a hint of berry jam and fruitiness on the the nose, and an extremely long finish. I look forward to trying again after 6 to 12 months in the cellar.
