"I Truly Love the J Brut Rose" - Sparkling Wine Profile by Examiner.com!
Kris Chislett, Examiner.com (Jacksonville Wine Examiner)
December 9, 2009
The key to this wine is subtlety. Beautifully delicate on the nose. Fresh aromas of peach and strawberry with faint toasty notes. Citrus flavors come through a little more on the palate, hints of tropical fruit, raspberry, red apple, a really elegant wine. I truly love the J Brut Rosé. It isn't over the top. It's one of the best sparklers I've tasted coming out of CA.

Robert Whitley, Wine Review OnLine
November 30, 2010
Probably the most underrated of the top sparkling wine producers, J has a new energy and emphasis on complexity since the arrival of winemaker George Bursick. The beauty of this wine is its distinctly California fruit profile combined with the structure of a fine Champagne.
