Roederer Estate Rose 750ml

The rosé sibling to Roederer Estate's flagship Brut, made on the same Anderson Valley property with a heavier hand of Pinot Noir for color and weight. It's a genuine traditional-method sparkling wine, not a base wine tinted pink, with real skin contact behind the color. Pale salmon in the glass, dry and food-friendly, it's an easy way to drink well above the $45 price point on a weeknight or a real occasion. Fresh strawberry, raspberry and orange peel aromas lifted by toasty brioche. The palate is crisp and bright, with fine, steady bubbles and a long, spiced finish.
