2011 Schramsberg Querencia Brut Rosé

A limited cuvée available to the membership is the 2011 Querencia Rosé, a Brut Rosé of 77% Chardonnay and 23% Pinot Noir, representing just under 2,000 cases. About 45% of this is barrel fermented. It's meant to honor the late Jack Davies, who resurrected Schramsberg in 1965. This has delicate salmon color, shows plenty of crisp, Wheat Thin, rose petal and berry notes, with the floweriness, strawberry and delicate cherry notes all coming through in the aromatics and flavors. It's a beauty.
