This high-quality Rosé shows all the depth and breadth of flavor that one expects from the breed, yet also displays a subtle freshness that keeps one coming back for another sip. Fruit notes are in the forefront, with autolytic characters playing supporting roles, as is appropriate for a Rosé. Yet, this is definitely not a simple, fruity wine, thanks to lots of little nuances that are surely the result of aging prior to release. A Platinum Award winner at the 2018 San Diego International Wine & Spirits Challenge.

Blended of about two-thirds Pinot Noir and one-third Chardonnay with a splash of Pinot Meurnier, the NV Brut Rose sports a very pale salmon-pink color, delivering notes of wild strawberries, McIntosh apples and raspberry leaves with a hint of chalk dust. The palate offers seriously zippy red berries and apple flavors with an impressively fine mousse and well-balanced finish. 15,000 were cases made.
