Roco RMS Brut Rosé

Having founded Oregon’s first sparkling wine production facility, Argyle Winery, it’s only natural that Rollin would bring his 30+ years of sparkling expertise to ROCO. After releasing ROCO’s first vintage RMS Brut three years ago, this vintage Brut Rosé is the next elegant step in ROCO’s sparkling wine program. During his 27+ years with Argyle, Rollin crafted some of the most highly acclaimed New World sparkling wines, which made Wine Spectator’s Top 100 wines three times, proof that he has mastered the sophisticated craft of fine Methòde Champenoise. Rollin’s vision has become a reality as the world continues to discover that the Willamette Valley’s cool, maritime climate is indeed ideally suited to world-class sparkling wine production. Tasting notes: The pink color of a Midsummer Night’s Dream English Rose is the first hint of a voluptuous RMS Brut Rosé. Her “perfume” tempts with ripe Pacific raspberries, rose petal, apple blossoms, and white peaches. The first sip of cool, fizzy goodness provides a crisp, refreshing fruit sweetness. Then, the wine flows toward a lovely middle palate of strawberry and ripe apricot with a balanced minerality of citrus lemon basil. Rounding out the mouth is a yeasty spice and the slightest hint of red cranberry to create a long, long finish. This is a sexy, elegant Brut Rosé!
