Scharffenberger "Brut Rosé Excellence" Mendocino County Sparkling Wine

SKU #1112216 90 points Connoisseurs Guide

Outer quote mark Just as it did in last year’s survey of sparkling wines, Scharffenberger’s Brut Rosé once again impresses with its fine combination of deep, slightly juicy, very well-stated fruit and integral autolysis. It is a deftly balanced wine with a steady, very long-lasting stream of tiny bubbles, and, although we continue to be happily surprised at the number of affordable sparklers that merit 'Good Value' recommendation, this wine’s buoyancy, intricate layering and careful crafting earns it an especially enthusiastic nod as nothing less than an out-and-out steal at the price. *Good Value* Inner quote mark (12/2020)

90 points Wine & Spirits

Outer quote mark While this wine feels gentle, its briskness brightens its scents of strawberries and nasturtiums. It’s Pinot Noir at the cusp of ripeness, holding a floral green note that would take on duck rillettes. Inner quote mark (8/2019)

Wine Enthusiast

Outer quote mark Smooth and modestly fruity, this medium-bodied bubbly offers light cherry and raspberry flavors that ride a fine bead of effervescence. It's very pleasant to sip and has a soft finish. (JG) Inner quote mark (12/2020)

Wine Spectator

Outer quote mark A festive quaff, with zesty strawberry and spicy graham cracker flavors that finish on a succulent note. (TF, Web-2020) Inner quote mark

Country:

United States

- When people consider domestic wine, they normally think about the state of California. The fine viticultural Region within California, including the Napa Valley, Sonoma, Santa Cruz Mountains, Mendocino and Santa Barbara, are capable of growing grapes of world-class quality. But there's plenty of fabulous wine coming from other states, too. Oregon, Washington and New York are also causing eyebrows (and glassware) to be raised around the world.

Sub-Region:

California

- With the explosive growth that California's wine industry has seen the past several years, it's easy to view winemaking and grape growing in the Golden State as a recent phenomenon. And while it's true that California's viticultural history is brief compared to several European countries, this state's roots date back well over 200 years. Due to the enormous response to California wine within the United States and worldwide, there are thousands of excellent and diverse wines being produced within the state each year.

Specific Appellation:

Anderson Valley/Mendocino

- Cooled by the nearby ocean and the seemingly omnipresent bank of oceanic fog, this picturesque wine region is home to a wealth of cool-climate grapes like riesling and gewürztraminer plus chardonnay and pinor noir, which are responsible for impressive and intense sparkling wines.
