Tasting notes
The 2014 Rosé Heintz Vineyard is the first commercial release of the Heintz sparkling rosé. It has a pale onion skin color and fully mature yet layered aromas of graphite, mushroom powder, iodine, coffee beans and burnt sugar. The light-bodied palate is dry and creamy, restrained and mineral-driven, with bright acidity and a pastry-laced finish. It's just past its peak, so enjoy it over the next 2-3 years.

The 2014 Rosé is an absolute winner from Ultramarine and Michael Cruse. A blend of 80% Chardonnay and 20% Pinot with 5% still red juice, the Rosé possesses striking translucence and creaminess that builds into a sublime finish laced with cranberry, chalk, mint and white pepper. The dosage of 6 grams per liter is perfectly judged.
