Wine Spectator 92 points - Sleek and rich, with a light salmon hue and floral apricot and strawberry aromas. The flavors are supple, yet crisp and well-structured, with cherry, peach and spiced almond notes. Drink now through 2016.—T.F. (Nov 14 2012)
étoile ROSÉ combines the forward fruit of a red wine and the elegant structure of a white.
In keeping with the traditional rosé winemaking method, a small amount of Pinot Noir is added prior to tirage, or second fermentation, to create the deliciously distinctive color.
Coveted by the most passionate connoisseurs for its unique character and limited availability, étoile ROSÉ sparkles with brilliant salmon color, bold yet refined berry flavors and excellent richness and length.
This cuvée of étoile ROSÉ rested for 5 years on the yeast, evolving graciously to be enjoyed when released and for years to come.
