 Tasted by WindFlyer on 3/14/2024 & rated 90 points: [2023 release]

pale salmon and small bubbles. fresh strawberry and red apples on a nose punctuated with gentle brioche notes. soft and round on entry, it takes a moment for the fruit to unfold, and it does so in fresh, subtle and crunchy red berry layers with spring herb accents. bright acidic lift and good length.

12.5% AbV; dosage 8g/L; 56% Pinot Noir/ 44% Chardonnay; colour comes from ~4% still red wine (saignée); base vintage is 2019 and includes up to ~10% reserve wines (going back some four seasons); two years on the lees. (499 views)
 Tasted by Martin Redmond on 3/11/2024 & rated 92 points: No formal tasting notes tasting. Took to dinner with friends at Saison. Paired very nicely across most of the courses (541 views)
 Tasted by Quiller on 3/3/2024 & rated 88 points: A bit of red apple on the nose and taste. Very nice balance; crisp; refreshing. Very pleasant, although there doesn't seem to be a lot going on beyond the basics. This may be my first time with the rose and it seems a touch heavier than the non-rose, which I had immediately following this one. All in all though, not much difference between the two. (509 views)
 Tasted by Martin Redmond on 2/2/2024 & rated 91 points: A perennial favorite sparking rose. Even better from magnum (624 views)
 Tasted by chablis28 on 1/24/2024 & rated 93 points: Our house rose' "Champagne". Roederer is very successful in the Anderson Valley! Superb balance, fruit and bubbles! This is always dialed in and a solid value at just under $30 in a mixed case purchase locally. We cap it and drink it over multiple nights. (892 views)
 Tasted by ABOVETHEINFLUENCE on 12/20/2023: seamless, getting a stickiness to palate good thickness, some creme brulee on nose, nice just sipping slow on this first big pour, savory and find this rather enjoyable right off cork...I just want to slowly sip this one...uncomplicated in best way , a serene vibe with cool kinda sweet sour red fruit and apple sticking as flavors on finish (949 views)
 Tasted by The Drunken Cyclist on 12/9/2023 & rated 89 points: The Sixth Annual World's Largest Blind Tasting of American Sparkling Wine (Houston, Texas): Retail $39. 56% Pinot Noir, 44% Chardonnay. A bit of an odd nose here with some creamed corn, oddly. The palate is subtle with hints of red berry fruit and strong in the acidity department. Very Good. 89 Points.

 Tasted by Sonoma-W on 11/23/2023 & rated 93 points: Surprisingly excellent! We've had this bottle forever. Still fresh and lively. More orange in color than pink. no oxidization. (513 views)
 Tasted by markjanes on 6/11/2023 & rated 89 points: a lot of good notes on this wine... out of magnum it's a step up in quality... lightly colored pink with very fine mousse, on the nose strawberry and red apple with floral notes... some light background yeasty aromas, no obvious oak. on the palate medium dosage feel, high acids, nice fresh midpalate, finishes with nice finesse and texture for a NW sparkler. about as good a NW sparkler can be, especially in this format. (1735 views)
 Tasted by nicefish on 6/8/2023 & rated 86 points: Bit too sweet for my taste. (1448 views)
 Tasted by buymoreredsdrinkmorewhites on 4/29/2023: Very lite on its feet sparkler. Floral strawberry, red fruits, mineral with some moderate yeast notes. Seems very true to the Roederer house style. Very much recommended for a rose sparkler. (1499 views)
 Tasted by xyc on 4/19/2023 & rated 93 points: Fondles and froths the palate with fizz and fuzz from fruity to flinty inflicting Sparkling Brut Rose memories of a well made wine. Suggest comparing this to any Champagne at twice the price. (1527 views)
 Tasted by galewskj on 4/2/2023 & rated 90 points: $100 wine event (Liz's House): This was a little warm when I got to it, but remained a consistent champagne-styled sparkler with some creamy red fruit and brioche. (1711 views)
 Tasted by I'd Rather Be Drinking Wine on 3/31/2023 & rated 90 points: Once again, this sparkling Rose over-delivers! Great QPR, IMO. Nothing special, but a solid performer. Nose shows plenty of red fruit, some floral notes and some hay, with hints of brioche. Palate shows strawberry, toast, some raspberry and some minerality. A very nice starter wine! Solid 90 points. (1229 views)
 Tasted by 3daywinereview.com on 3/31/2023 & rated 90 points: $100 Plus Tasting Year 2 (Minneapolis, MN): I prefer the Brut over the Rose. Strawberry, minerals, floral and chalk. Nice acidity overall. Again Roederer delivers for the price. (1141 views)
 Tasted by Martin Redmond on 1/22/2023 & rated 90 points: Consistent with prior review (1071 views)
 Tasted by Halfeel on 12/25/2022 & rated 92 points: I am not a great judge of sparkling wines but this one was very nice and pleasing to the palate with a spanakopita appetizer and my Cousin who is a sparkling wine aficionado said it was an excellent Brut Rose. (1095 views)
 Tasted by The Drunken Cyclist on 12/21/2022 & rated 95 points: The Fifth Annual Largest Blind Tasting of American Sparkling Wine: Retail $36. 56% Pinot Noir, 44% Chardonnay. Light to medium, with a scrumptious nose: sweet nectarine and cherry. Fantastic on the palate as well with a near-perfect balance of red fruit, zingy acidity, and layers of complexity. Yowza. Fantastic. 95+ Points.

 Tasted by BougieWino on 12/11/2022 & rated 95 points: Pretty peach color; cherry blossom, red fruit flavors; great summertime feel.

*served at 2022 White House State Dinner (1096 views)
 Tasted by Asull2k on 12/8/2022 & rated 90 points: Salmon color. Strawberry, saline, yeast on the nose. Slight tartness. Nice food pairing wine and good QPR. (1120 views)
 Tasted by chablis28 on 11/24/2022 & rated 92 points: Is there a better sub $30 sparkling rose"??? I'm often disappointed by many French versions for twice the price. This is my "go to" unless I want to step up to a NV Vilmart Cuvee Rubis. 92+ Great TG rose' with the extended family! (1218 views)
 Tasted by vinorsk on 11/24/2022: A good food wine, a little ripe and berry dominant famine but a nice complement to Thanksgiving. I prefer the Brut as a sipper. (882 views)
 Tasted by vino vidi vici on 11/17/2022: Excellent - the Pinot in this blend bestows an elegant richness beyond what's found in the Brut bottling. Both are terrific, but this Rose would better match with creamy, savory sauces on the plate. Yum. (1027 views)
 Tasted by Martin Redmond on 11/5/2022 & rated 90 points: Salmon pink color with strawberry, raspberry, peach wet stone, citrus zest, wet stone and yeasty aromas. On the palate, it's very fresh with tiny persistent bubbles with a delicate creamy mousse, and flavors with echo its aromas (1043 views)
 Tasted by Ben Christiansen on 8/17/2022: Now that is darn delicious. So good. (1433 views)

Champagne Blend

"Champagne blend" is a classic grape blend that typically includes Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and/or Pinot Meunier in any proportions.

However, this blend can also include Arbane, Fromenteau (Pinot Gris), Petit Meslier and/or Pinot Blanc as well.

USA

American wine has been produced since the 1500s, with the first widespread production beginning in New Mexico in 1628. Today, wine production is undertaken in all fifty states, with California producing 84% of all U.S. wine. The continent of North America is home to several native species of grape, including Vitis labrusca, Vitis riparia, Vitis rotundifolia, and Vitis vulpina, but the wine-making industry is based almost entirely on the cultivation of the European Vitis vinifera, which was introduced by European settlers. With more than 1,100,000 acres (4,500 km2) under vine, the United States is the fourth-largest wine producing country in the world, after Italy, Spain, and France.

California

2021 vintage: "Unlike almost all other areas of the state, the Russian River Valley had higher than normal crops in 2021, which has made for a wine of greater generosity and fruit forwardness than some of its stablemates." - Morgan Twain-Peterson

North Coast

The North Coast American Viticultural Area (AVA) in California, covering more than three million acres, includes Napa, Sonoma, Mendocino and Lake counties, and portions of Marin and Solano counties. (see The Wine Institute for more information)

Anderson Valley

http://www.avwines.com/anderson-valley-appellation-map/
Anderson Valley stretches from Yorkville Highlands (located in a highland meadow straddling the upper Rancheria Creek and upper Dry Creek watersheds) through Boonville (located on Anderson Creek) and Philo (located on Indian Creek) to Navarro (located on Soda Creek). Rancheria, Anderson, Indian and Soda creeks are tributaries to the Navarro River, which flows north and west through the coastal range to the Pacific Ocean; Dry Creek flows south into the Russian River watershed in Sonoma County. The main stem of the Navarro River begins less than a mile south of Philo at the confluence of Anderson Creek and Rancheria Creek. The mouth of the Navarro is 10 miles (16 km) south of Mendocino, California. Encompassing 315 square miles (816 km²), the Navarro River watershed is the largest coastal basin in Mendocino County.

Such unique geography results in a wide diurnal range, with daily high and low temperatures occasionally diverging 40 or 50 degrees. This enables Pinot Noir growers to keep acid development in line with sugar and flavor formation through long, warm Indian summers. It also makes for superb Gewurztraminer and Riesling, giving rise to the valley’s annual Alsatian Varietals and Pinot Noir festivals.

The climate in the Anderson Valley appellation is tempered by cool marine air. Steep hills and mountains surround rolling to nearly level alluvial terraces. The dominant natural vegetation is a mixed forest of Coast Redwood, various native oak varieties, and Douglas-fir. Elevation ranges from sea level to 2,500 feet (760 m). The average annual precipitation ranges from 35 to 80 inches (900 to 2000 mm). The average annual temperature is about 53 °F (12 °C), and the average frost-free season ranges from 220 to 365 days. Towards the coast the summers are cool and moist with frequent fog, while the interior Anderson Valley proper features a warm to hot summer climate similar to nearby interior regions, with daytime highs occasionally in excess of 100 °F (38 °C).

Visitors to the Valley should come prepared for cool evenings and warm days. Locals dress in layers year round.
