Cuvee Grande Rose – 2016; Gruet Winery; Albuquerque, New Mexico

Behold, for some very fine New Mexico sparkling wine is served! Aged one year in oak and three en tirage, this 90% Chardonnay and 10% Pinot Noir blend will tantalize all the senses from sight, to aroma, to taste, to finish and beyond.  Obviously, the initial bottle opening cork popping sound is cool, too.  Some refreshing notes of strawberry and raspberry will greet your nose during that first pour. Take those first few sips and savor that black cherry along with a light creaminess and the sensation of soft little bubbles on your palate.  There is just a touch of truffle in there as you relish that long lasting and satisfying finish.  Enjoy this one well as it is worth savoring every sip. Santé!
