Onward 2021 Pétillant Naturel, Rosé of Pinot Noir, Hawkeye Ranch, Redwood Valley

The Rosé of Pinot noir Pét-Nat is loaded with ripe summer berries, floral and citrus nots and is very alive! The opening aromatics explode from the glass, and are lively, fresh and mysterious. To follow are notes of strawberry fields, citrus blossom, warm brioche toast with lemon curd and juicy berries‚ a refreshing hint of mint and did I mention soft tiny delicate bubbles?

This pretty pink bubbly offers a unique combination of youthfulness and complexity. I liken her to my daughter who is spunky as they come‚ yet wise beyond her years.
