Roederer Estate Anderson Valley Brut Rosé Sparkling Wine
Pinot Noir from Anderson Valley/Mendocino
| Description: | 93 points Robert Parker's Wine Advocate. The current release of the Nv Brut Rosé is made up mainly of fruit from the 2015 vintage and is a blend of 55% Pinot Noir and 45% Chardonnay. It was made with about nine grams per liter dosage and was disgorged in March of 2019. Pale salmon-pink in color, it has a lively nose of red berries, crushed stone, musk melon, floral hints and citrus peel and a bright and fresh palate with loads of perfumed red berries and energetic mousse, finishing long and uplifted. (eb) (9/2020) 91 points Wine & Spirits. There's ample red-apple flavor at the center of this wine, lingering with a light touch, and hints of spicy orange and ripe peach. That sweet fruit finishes clean, with a gentle sweep of acidity, balanced and long. For scallop sashimi. (jg) (10/2020) 91 points Wine Enthusiast. This mouthfilling creamy-textured wine is packed with frothy bubbles that liven up the nicely dry, somewhat tangy flavors of raspberry and cinnamon. A touch of maturity shows up as slightly earthy aromas and lends a bit of complexity. (jg) (12/2020) 91 points Wine Spectator. Vibrant and festive, featuring bright rose petal, cherry and spice flavors, finishing on a snappy, refreshing note. (tf) (10/2020) 90 points Connoisseurs Guide. Keenly fruity and redolent of fresh Rainer cherries in both scent and taste and enriched with a well-measured complement of toasty autolysis throughout, this lovely Brut Rosé is charged with a very fine and sustained, marvelously mouthfilling mousse, and, for all of its considerable fruity volume and yeasty complexity, it is uncannily graceful and light on its feet. It has the richness to stand up to fairly flavorful entrees ranging from the likes of salmon to roast duck to pork cutlets finished with a creamy sauce but, at the same time, it is so polished and neatly balanced as to be equally satisfying without food. *Good Value* (12/2020) K&L Notes. As with all Roederer Estate wines, the Brut Rosé is made with 100% estate-grown grapes. Oak-aged wines from the Estate's reserve cellars are added to the blend, creating a multi-vintage cuvée in the traditional Roederer style. The Roederer Estate Brut Rosé is full and round with smooth flavors and fine persistent bubbles. The extra measure of Chardonnay contributes elegance and austerity, which balance nicely with the delicate fruitiness of the Pinot Noir. |
