Roederer Estate Anderson Valley Brut 375ml

Focused and vibrant, with aromas of creamy apple, cinnamon and hazelnut leading to complex, layered flavors of lemon custard, mineral and almond. The finish lingers. This blend of 60% Chardonnay and 40% Pinot Noir is one of the best sparkling wines you'll find at this price. It's stylishly dry and fancy, with yeasty lime, strawberry and vanilla flavors. 91 points, Wine Enthusiast (Dec 2012) Once again taking its place as one of our favorite non-vintaged Bruts, Roederer strands out for its refinement and customary vitality. It marries a bit of citrus and green-apple fruit with incisive, not-too-strident yeast and finds subtle complexities in the form of background minerality. It is fairly tight and very much geared to crispness with a lengthy and wonderfully refreshing finish, and its balance suggests that it will hold up nicely for years.
