Ratings and Reviews

“Graceful and vibrant, with detailed strawberry, quince and spiced cinnamon flavors that expand and take on richness on the long, crisp finish. Drink now.”

“This is primarily an excellent, light red wine, offering dried strawberries and herbs with stone and flint undertones. It’s full-bodied with tightness and layered mid-palate with an crisp, energetic finish. Fine bubbles at the end. 50% chardonnay and 50% pinot noir. Drink or hold.”

“A rich fruitiness and an intriguing savory, meaty quality lend rare complexity and interest to this light-copper-colored and creamy-textured wine. Flavors from dried apricot to raspberry to ginger light up the palate, while crisp acidity and an ultrafine bead of bubbles make a perfect texture.”

“The 2013 Roederer Estate ​“l’Ermitage” Brut Rosé is comprised of a blend of fifty percent each of chardonnay and pinot noir in this vintage, with a small percentage of the pinot being still red wine to give the lovely salmon color to the bottling. The wine was finished with a dosage of eight grams per liter and offers up a lovely bouquet of strawberries, dried cherries, a touch of melon, rose petals, a fine base of soil, orange peel and a discreet topnote of cinnamon. On the palate the wine is bright, full-bodied and still zesty, with a good core, elegant mousse, snappy acids and a long, complex and nicely balanced finish. This is not quite as seamless on the palate as the 2015 l’Ermitage, and I would opt for still giving this a few years in the cellar to allow the fine spine of acidity here to relax a bit more. 2023 – 2040.”
