Top CA Sparkler

[Bucko]

NV Chandon, Rose Sparkling Wine, étoile, Napa-Sonoma Counties, California, $40. More than a match for its French counterparts, this sparkler has a lovely light salmon coloration. Red currants, mixed berries, and roasted hazelnuts enchant the senses. Very elegant, the finish is both complex and lingering. 90/90.

I'm not big on champagnes usually but this is one rose sparkler I like. Glad to know it is living up to past successes.
