Community Tasting Notes (average 85.9 pts. and median of 87 pts. in 19 notes)

Korbel Brut Rose is blended from Pinot Noir, Sangiovese, Gamay and Chenin Blanc grapes. The Pinot Noir grapes are grown in the cool Russian River Valley. The Gamay and Chenin Blanc is grown in the Sacramento River delta area. All of the varieties are picked at relatively low sugars, typically between 18 and 20 Brix.<br/><br/>We use Pinot Noir and Gamay lots that have a noticeable pink hue for the Brut Rose. We try to find lots that have generous strawberry and black cherry like flavors. The goal is to consistently produce a Rose that is flavorful, bright and aromatic.
