2019 Cruse Wine Co. Ultramarine Sparkling Rose Hirsch Vineyard Sonoma Coast

The 1999 Cote Rotie offers pretty flavors redolent with scents of black cherries, raspberries, plums, and cherries, with smoke, mineral, and paper white Narcissus notes in the background. It is medium-bodied, pure, supple-textured, and delicious. If it builds in the bottle, it will merit an even higher score. This is undoubtedly the finest Jasmin Cote Rotie produced in over a decade. Anticipated maturity: 2003-2016. Review Date: April 2002
