2011 Anne Amie Marilyn Chehalem Mountains Brut Rosé

12.0% alc., pH 3.01, TA 0.83, RS .02%, 298 cases, $45. Released February 2015. 100% Twelve Oaks Estate. Production was by traditional méthode champenoise, aged on the lees en tirage for 3 years, and a dosage added after disgorgement. Aged a further 4 months in bottle before release. · Pretty pink-orange color in the glass with a good bead. Aromas of blood orange, peach and raspberry lead to a dry, crisp experience featuring flavors of blood orange, strawberry and Damsel plum. The fruit intensity is discreetly concentrated and satisfying, and the wine sports a refreshing finish than really cleanses the palate. I agree with Thomas regarding suggested food pairings: anything! Score: 92. Reviewed July 23, 2015
