Scharffenberger "Brut Rosé Excellence" Mendocino County Sparkling Wine

Other White Wines from Anderson Valley/Mendocino

Description:	90 points Connoisseurs Guide. Just as it did in last year's survey of sparkling wines, Scharffenberger's Brut Rosé once again impresses with its fine combination of deep, slightly juicy, very well-stated fruit and integral autolysis. It is a deftly balanced wine with a steady, very long-lasting stream of tiny bubbles, and, although we continue to be happily surprised at the number of affordable sparklers that merit 'Good Value' recommendation, this wine's buoyancy, intricate layering and careful crafting earns it an especially enthusiastic nod as nothing less than an out-and-out steal at the price. Good Value (12/2020) 90 points Wine & Spirits. While this wine feels gentle, its briskness brightens its scents of strawberries and nasturtiums. It's Pinot Noir at the cusp of ripeness, holding a floral green note that would take on duck rillettes. (8/2019) Wine Enthusiast. Smooth and modestly fruity, this medium-bodied bubbly offers light cherry and raspberry flavors that ride a fine bead of effervescence. It's very pleasant to sip and has a soft finish. (jg) (12/2020) Wine Spectator. A festive quaff, with zesty strawberry and spicy graham cracker flavors that finish on a succulent note. (tf, Web-2020) K&L Notes. Scharffenberger's "Brut Rosé Excellence" is made in the méthode traditionnelle style of Champagne.
