Cuvaison, Los Carneros, Napa Valley (California) 2016

 This classy California Rosé sparkler delights the senses from the first inviting sniff to the flavorful finish.  Crisp, dry and filled with glorious sparkle, the wine is not only delicious on its own but thanks to its generous flavors (including strawberry, raspberry, pink grapefruit, and brioche) it also partners tastily with a range of foods including the usual suggestions of shellfish.  Try it also with chicken breasts, simple pork or veal roasts, as well as mac and cheese.
