CONNOISSEURS GUIDE REVIEW: As expected from sparkling wines from J, this bright, briskly balanced bottling shows a real sense of refinement and grace from its fruity, mildly cranberry-like nose to its delicately bubbled palate. It comes with a nice complement of yeast and intimates tart cherries from beginning to end, and, if not so weighty as classic roses can be, it is never so light than it cannot do fine service with foods ranging from grilled salmon to crispy chicken.

WINE NEWS REVIEW: Pale copper hue with very tiny bubbles. Enticing scents of red raspberry and white peach. Creamy acidity and juicy flavors of Red Delicious apple and wild cherry. Apple-driven close made opulent by hints of brioche and honey.

WINE SPECTATOR REVIEW: Wonderful richness, complexity and depth, built around a core of spicy black cherry and Pinot Noir fruit. A pleasant earthy-hazelnut flavor adds intrigue and the texture is smooth and polished, ending with a creamy mouthfeel.
