The 2004 Beacon Hill Brut Rose is salmon pink-colored with a persistent stream of tiny bubbles, an attractive mousse, and aromas of rose petals and strawberries. Crisp, lively, and concentrated, this flavorful bubbly should drink well for several years.
If our economic doldrums have caused you to forego Dom Perignon Rose and Roederer Cristal Rose, keep in mind that for the price of one bottle of those stellar Champagnes, you could purchase an entire case of Tony Soter’s Beacon Hill Brut Rose.
