This is my kind of bubbly! Steve Rogstad shepherds this blend of 60% Chardonnay and 40% Pinot Noir into a crisp, racy, acid driven rosé that’s long on refreshment. Aromas of strawberry, golden apple, soft toast and wet stone translate perfectly on the palate, and great scouring acidity doesn’t overdo it, keeping your mouth watering and coming back to the glass. A fine mousse adds to the lively texture and extends the finish, where a cherry note sings clearly. Spot on sparkler!
