Ultramarine, Sparkling Rosé of Pinot Noir, Sonoma County

Michael Cruse, the leader of California's sparkling wine revolution, produces this rosé from the Charles Heitz vineyard, and the site's signature saline minerality is front and centre here. Notes of red berry fruit, baked rhubarb and smoky, caremelized blood orange are equally evocative of the wine's Sonoma Coast origins. A refined mousse frames a wine with Californian volume but taught acidity.
