  12.5% ABV. PNP into Riedel Yoichi glass (“Fruit” day): Pale rose golden to the eyes.
  
  Rich fruity style traditional sparkling indeed that is indeed really well done.
  
  Good acidity, minerality. Smoky, herbal, sweet fruits on the palate.
  
  94 points.

  2010 Was a Good Vintage in France (Jordan's Place - Chicago IL): Very Pinot-centric with soft, rounded textures and edges. Good depth culminating in a long-ish elegant finish.

  This would be a great wine to serve blind just to get guesses. Aside from Rosé non-Champagne Sparkling, this is where the answers would diverge. Barrel fermented, tirage bottled. 24 months on lees with 2 g/L dosage. Pours a dark salmon color to the glass with nose of tart red cherries, red roses, but a very yeasty base that carries through to the palate. This wine has characteristics of a PetNat, without a doubt, but has the salinity, depth and character of a boutique sparkling wine producer. Entry was medium depth, baked red cherries, strawberries and white chocolate, brambly raspberries and cream, yet a base that has a lot of yeasty raucous flinty minerals. A divergence from the normal unilateral PetNat and your sometimes basic grower Champagnebhouse, this sparkling with rather tiny bubbles and complexity is sure to please. Really interesting and quite enjoyable sparkling Rosé, best enjoyed now.

  "Sunday Soiree" - Private Dinner in Buckhead (Atlanta, GA): Private dinner in Buckhead (Atlanta). Color is medium rose. Slightly bitter in a good way. Very tasty and great pairing with fig salad. Brad - www.heavypourwine.com

  Nice light rose color. Aromas of biscuits, roses and strawberries. I recommend trying this in either a coupe glass or a good chardonnay glass. Not a flute. It needs room to get all those aromas out. Medium bodied with a nice mouth feel and a good balance of acidity and fruit. Flavors of biscuit, black berries and raspberries. Nice long finish. Paired this with some Indian curries and it held up very well. At least 8 years of good life left.
