As we enter 2022 with the hope for a better year for one and all, we'll raise a glass of 2020 RMS Red Brut<\/a> from a winemaker we think of like an old friend, Rollin Soles of Roco Winery<\/a>. While we know and love Rollin's wines, both at his own Roco and during his years at Argyle, this is a new wine for us. It is 100% Pinot Noir and our first red sparkling wine! <\/p>\n

Here is what Rollin has to say about his 2020 RMS Red Brut:<\/strong><\/p>\n

\n

"This inaugural Sparkling Red Wine Pinot Noir brings Instant Holiday Cheer! This dark ruby colored sparkling wine delivers a lively pink bubbling froth around the edge of your glass as it is poured. The fruit, spices, and yeasty aromas include cranberry, crab apple, black raspberry and a hint of grape soda. There also are essences of pecan, sweet Genovese basil, and pine cones. On the palate, look for immediate cranberry, dried currant, and Brooks plums with a persistent pomegranate core and a finish that begs for ham and turkey and mushrooms. The truly velvety tannin grip is spiced with pecans, cinnamon, and nutmeg, making this wine a potentially amazing Biscotti dunker!"<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

We have some biscotti on hand and are ready for dunking!<\/p>\n

Trying wines from different places, made with different grapes, and produced by different methods adds spice to our monthly ritual. Since 2007, we have raised a glass of sparkling wine to greet each new month!<\/p>\n

Here are the front and back labels:

We purchase our bottle directly from the vineyard as a part of a holiday purchase. While supplies last it is available from ROCO for $50 a bottle.<\/a><\/p>\n

We subscribe to the vineyard's newsletter<\/a> and were thrilled to support this lovely couple and their hard work to make great wine and support Oregon's Willamette Valley winemaking community.<\/p>\n
