James Suckling: Paula Kornell Napa Valley Rosé De La Vallée 2022, 92 Score

 

A delicious Napa Valley sparkler, showing aromas of underripe strawberries, citrus, wet stones, rose petals and shortbread. The palate is bright and focused, with a finely beaded mousse and a refreshing finish. Disgorged December 2025. Delightful. Drink now.
