2023 Cruse Wine Company, Petillant Naturel White Zinfandel ‘Eaglepoint Ranch’, Mendocino

This organic, high-elevation sparkler from Ukiah is like summer in a glass—peachy-salmon in color with big, joyful bubbles and a nose of cherry pie and strawberry jam. On the palate, it’s a playful mix of blackberries, dried mango, and zesty lemon peel. Made from 40-year-old vines at 2,000 feet, this rosé gets its finesse from foot treading, a gentle champagne press, and zero dosage. With only 250 cases made, it’s a bubbly labor of love that’s as rare as it is refreshing.
