2012 Soter MSR Brut Rose Yamhill Carlton Willamette Valley | WE 92

"The 2012 Brut is a beautiful coral colored sparkling wine. The vibrant aroma IS filled with notes of toasted bread complimenting Impressions of ripe Oregon strawberries and raspberries. There IS an uncommon sense of substance in this sparkling wine, evidenced by the flavor Intensity and luscious creamy texture. Complex notes of lemon curd, crèmefresh, and even a hint of oak makefor Intriguing food-pairmg possibilities. The inherent richness ofthe wine IS a product of immaculate farming and low yielding vines, allowing the wine to stand on its own and not rely on significant residual sugar to balance the naturally high acidity: This is further reason the wine does so well at the table with food and is not limited to traditional uses as aperitif."
