This Rouge Brute has become my go-to bottle to share with friends and it never fails to spark a "what is this?" followed quickly by an empty glass. The Merlot-Albariño blend is rich up front with a bright lift on the back end. Great balance of flavor and soft bubbles make it perfect for any meal without ever feeling heavy. Chill it down and it works for a backyard hang, the dinner table, or in a rocks glass while working in the garden. This bottle is unpretentious, easy to enjoy, and unique enough to make you look like you know something.
