This Iris Vineyards Rosé Arête Brut from the Willamette Valley is a surprisingly dry and savory sparkler that balances thyme and rosemary notes with bright grapefruit, gooseberry, and lemon peel. Its gentle fizz and bittersweet citrus finish make it lively and lovely, offering a more complex, earthy profile than many typical fruity rosés. While it shares the elegant structure of fine Champagne, it brings a distinct Oregon character with hints of baked bread and vanilla bean. At a solid value for its quality, this wine is a great choice for those seeking a sophisticated, non-sweet sparkling option.
Serve it chilled alongside shellfish, crab, or a light salad of roasted beets and goat cheese.
