The Graham Beck Brut Rose is 60% Chardonnay and 40% Pinot Noir. This sparkling wine is a pale salmon color. On the nose are notes of strawberry, raspberry, lemon tart, steely minerality, gunflint, fresh roses, and red cherry. On the palate are hints of lavender, wild strawberry, wet stone minerality, fresh flowers, yeast, pomegranate, and strawberry cream soda. The Graham Beck Brut Rose has a long finish and zesty acidity. Truly, delicious.
