In 1986,
the same year J Vineyards started
making sparkling wine, Top Gun was
the top movie. Perhaps fitting, J
has been a top sparkling house for as long. Their Brut Rose’ is a non-vintage
wine and I’ve has this for years and it never disappoints. Lively, dancing
bubbles greet you followed by lemon- lime, strawberry, almond, Bing cheery,
blood orange, and mango. It is a wine that fills the palate with soft flavors
and aromas, ideally used with food given its breadth of expression. Made of
Pinot Noir with 32% Chardonnay and 10% Pinot Meunier, the dosage is a mere
1.15% residual sugar so it stays a true Brut. This has a place on any table for
any occasion.
