This fragrant rose opens with very pleasant aromas of strawberries, candied lemon peel, vanilla and smoke. The flavors are full, with plenty of earth and yeasty notes around the berry core. It has a rich, creamy texture, like a full soft mousse. Goes down like velvet, and the whistle-clean finish has good length.——W.E.(6/1/2001)—— 89

This is a beautiful wine to look at for the coppery-gold color and the fierce explosion of fine bubbles. Smells luscious, with subtle raspberry, lime, bread and lees aromas. This is the best rose Handley has ever produced: amazingly rich, long and full-bodied, with the creamy smoothness of Champagne. ——S.H.(12/1/2000)—— 92

From a bubbly specialist comes this fancy wine, a blend of 75% Pinot Noir and 25% Chardonnay. Has very forward fruity aromas that are a combo of both varietals. It’s a bit rough, as though the bubbles aren’t fine enough, but that’s comparing it to the best French vintage Champagne, which costs a whole lot more. ——S.H.(12/1/2000)—— 88

A rich, creamy bubbly with hints of lemony and toasty fruit on the opening. The finish is layered with deeply textured flavors that linger in the mouth. An altogether satisfying wine from the cool growing region of Anderson Valley.——L.W.(12/1/1999)—— 89
