Roederer Estate Brut Rosé Sparkling Wine   

Anderson Valley, Mendocino County, California, United States

One of my favourite California bubblies. Love it! Why don't more people drink rose sparkling wine? I think there's a perception that it's sweet but this is bone-dry though there are lovely aromas of field raspberries on the nose. Supremely delicious and half the price of champagne. Raise a toast to this wine. Just a hint of dry strawberry on the finish.
