This J Brut Rosé sparkles with a luminous cool pink hue and exudes delicate aromas of strawberry, nectarine and juicy red apples. On the palate, the wine opens with flavors of cherry, blood orange, citrus peel and the tropical star fruit that are underlined by a bright acidity that keeps the overall impression delightfully fresh with a lively, lingering finish. The wine engages the entire palate with balance wrapped in a refined body of elegance and effervescence.Anthony Dias Blue 01/21/2011, 92 POINTS & OUTSTANDING!, Anthony Dias Blue------------------------------------------ Connoisseurs' Guide to California Wine 11/01/2010, 93 Points & Two Stars!, As expected from sparkling wines from J------------------------------------------ Decanter Magazine 09/01/2010, 5 Stars!
