Gran Moraine Brut Rose, Yamhill-Carlton District, USA (750ml)

WINEMAKER'S NOTES:

Aromas of strawberry shortcake, canned pear, white peach, lightly toasted broiche, and rose petals. The palate flirts with tangerine, kumquat, nectarine on the finish with warm watermelon rind and lemon meringue pie. Balanced fatness and acidity on the texture, vibrant and exceptionally clean all the way through to the finish, phenomenally precise.

Blend: 57% Chardonnay, 43% Pinot Noir

TASTING NOTES:

That rare domestic rosé that captures the vibrant acidity of Champagne, offering delicate strawberry, raspberry flavors laced with steely minerality and sprinkle of graham cracker on the finish. Drink now through 2022.

Complex aromas of strawberry, brioche and sliced almond. Medium-bodied with a tight mousse. Well-composed flavors of citrus and berries. Long. Crisp and refreshing at the end. 53% pinot noir, 41% chardonnay and 6% pinot meunier.
