Robust ripe strawberry flavors from a Rhoe-trained winemaker. Todd Coleman

The prestigious French winery Champagne Louis Roederer founded an estate in the cool Anderson Valley in 1982. This smooth, nonvintage sparkling rose is dominated by pinot noir, which adds lovely fruit to the flavor and a nice dose of blush to the finish. It includes up to 20 percent oak-aged reserve wine and is characterized by subtle herb and red raspberry accents, but with a stiff mineral backbone. Todd Coleman

This rare blend (only the 2nd vintage yet made) is complex and cellar-worthy, filled with peach and pastry aromas, hints of deeper red fruit and lots of nervy acidity. Todd Coleman
($18)
Aromas that are just picked apricots with a lingering rosy finish. Todd Coleman

A great stand in for beaujolais village, cheery and vibrant. Todd Coleman
The pinot noir is evident in this slightly tannic pink sparkling. A fruity, floral nose, and a dry, spicy palate with a pleasing acidity. Todd Coleman
