2013 Schug Pinot Noir Rouge de Noirs

The 2013 Rouge de Noirs Brut is slightly unique in that it is a deeper cherry pink color than most Rosés, but not quite as deep as most red Pinot Noirs. Nonetheless, it offers vibrant Bing cherry, raspberry tart and lightly browned toast aromas with a waft of shaved almonds. The dry (brut) palate is laden with uncomplicated red berry preserves flavors, sporting a good mousse of medium-sized bubbles and a fine, refreshing finish.
