J Brut Rosé Russian River Valley
Return to Current Releases
The Vineyards
The grapes for this Brut Rosé were selected from J’s Estate Vineyards in the Russian River Valley. Our vineyards yield a balanced crop of clean, healthy and flavorful grapes that exhibit bright and lush aromas and flavors.
Winemaking
All grapes for our J Brut Rosé are hand-harvested into small quarter-ton bins and placed as whole clusters, without destemming, into our special Coquard press for a gentle pressing cycle.
Aging
After secondary fermentation in the bottle, the wines aged for an average of 36 months in our cool cellars. Dosage was made from a blend of wood-aged, reserve wines and pure cane sugar. The wine is aged for another six months before release from our cellars.
Tasting Notes
This J Brut Rosé sparkles with a luminous cool pink hue and exudes delicate aromas of strawberry, nectarine and juicy red apples. On the palate, the wine opens with flavors of cherry, blood orange, citrus peel and tropical star fruit that are underlined by a bright acidity that keeps the overall impression delightfully fresh. The wine engages the entire palate with balance, wrapped in a refined body of elegance and effervescence, ending with a lively and lingering finish.
