93 POINTS & TWO STARS - Connoisseurs' Guide to CA Wine for J Brut Rose NV

As expected from sparkling wines from J, this bright, briskly balanced bottling shows a real sense of refinement and grace from its fruity, mildly cranberry-like nose to its delicately bubbled palate. It comes with a nice complement of yeast and intimates tart cherries from beginning to end, and, if not so weighty as classic rosés can be, it is never so light than it cannot do fine service with foods ranging from grilled salmon to crispy chicken.
