I have to say, I was really blown away by this wine! I have long held that it is just too hot in California to make a world-class Pinot Gris. That may be true, if we use a cooler climate standard. But this lush, perfumed Viognier wannabe is so delicious and compelling. It's a real winner and, with 30,000 cases in the marketplace, a big plus for the J brand. - By Glen Frederiksen, winelinesonline.com

Probably the most underrated of the top sparkling wine producers, J has a new energy and emphasis on complexity since the arrival of winemaker George Bursick. The beauty of this wine is its distinctly California fruit profile combined with the structure of a fine Champagne.

"I Truly Love the J Brut Rose" - Sparkling Wine Profile by Examiner.com!
Kris Chislett, Examiner.com (Jacksonville Wine Examiner)
December 9, 2009
The key to this wine is subtlety. Beautifully delicate on the nose. Fresh aromas of peach and strawberry with faint toasty notes. Citrus flavors come through a little more on the palate, hints of tropical fruit, raspberry, red apple, a really elegant wine. I truly love the J Brut Rosé. It isn't over the top. It's one of the best sparklers I've tasted coming out of CA.

Red, White and Brut: Inaugural Bubblies Best Value - Wall Street Journal
DOROTHY J. GAITER AND JOHN BRECHER, Wall Street Journal
Saturday/Sunday, January 10-11, 2009
Millions will gather in Washington this month for the inauguration of Barack Obama as the 44th president of the United States, and many of them will attend fancy parties.Our suggestion: Open a fine bottle of American bubbly. Which one? We tasted dozens to answer that question. In order to find a good, widely distributed American bubbly to suggest as an inauguration celebration wine, we tasted dozens that cost less than $50.
