  With just the right amount of toasty age, this is gorgeous. Its strawberry note is woven into its rich texture, with a flavor of fresh croissant and a final burst of acidity. It could age, but why wait.
• 93 Wine Spectator
  Delicate acidity and subtle flavors of black cherry, plum, black licorice and spice are well-meshed with the fine texture and creamy minerality of this elegant rosé, which has a smoky finish. Drink now through 2020. 2,000 cases imported.

  Soft salmon pink; minerally and rich with spice, raspberry and cherry; complex, stylish and ripe; dense and long.
• 91 Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
  The 2004 Brut Rose Cuvee Belle Epoque is a deceptively light-colored wine. It shows off striking inner perfume and richness as the fruit flows across the palate. Sweet red berries, crushed flowers and spices are some of the notes that wrap around the finish. Though medium in body and feminine in style, there is an element of depth that is compelling. Anticipated maturity: 2012-2019.

  A fine orange-gold color with pink hues introduces this wine, its pale strawberry notes building on the freshness of the color. This is tighly built, while feeling creamy and soft, a gentle floral honey note over the red fruit. Pour it with roast fish.
