Domaine Chandon etoile Rose
The house style is one of forward fruit and a soft profile. Likewise with this wine in a copper color. The fruit source for this wine is 56% from Sonoma and 44% from Napa. After primary ferment this wine was put in the bottle for its secondary ferment in 2001 and aged for 5 years on the lees. It is wonderful to see this wine bottled under a crown cap as is more common in Australia. P&B in Yountville 13.5% $32.79 at Bottle Barn Chandon

Iron Horse Sonoma County Green Valley Estate Bottled Brut Rose 2003
81% Pinot Noir and 19% Chardonnay. Lots of red fruit and several of the class members swore that this wine smells of pot. In the mouth there is a sense of strawberry-rhubarb. The wine is fermented in stainless and spends 3 years en tirage. GP&B in Sebastopol 13% $39.99 at Bottle Barn Iron Horse
