Roederer Estate Brut Rosé – Anderson Valley, California
A refined and expressive rosé sparkler, blending Pinot Noir and Chardonnay with oak-aged reserve wines for enhanced texture and dimension. Pale salmon in hue, it opens with aromas of strawberry, brioche, and citrus—a palate that is round, creamy, and elegantly balanced, featuring red berries, pastry, and a mineral finale. Held in high regard by critics (92–94 pts), it’s a versatile Californian alternative to Champagne at an excellent value.
