Schramsberg 'Mirabelle' Brut Rose NV

.
Wall Street Journal Good/Very Good. "Despite the Brut in the name, we'd recommend this to people who prefer their bubblies a little sweeter and softer than most. Relaxed and relaxing and quite approachable. Good as an aperitif or with cookies, so maybe it's just the thing for a noon inauguration."

Wine Spectator 93
"A rose with serious intentions, this has a delicate pink hue and floral strawberry and spicy yeast roll aromas. The flavors show good focus, offering raspberry, Gala apple, ginger and fig flavors. Drink now through 2012. 3,000 cases made."

"Stylistically, Mirabelle Brut has an elegant, toasty aroma, which leads into crisp and complex flavors on the palate. It is impossible to mistake Mirabelle?s Northern California heritage - the freshness on the mid-palate continues through to the finish. Mirabelle Brut pairs well with fish and shellfish, light appetizers and pasta." ~ Winery notes
