A Best Buy
TASTING NOTE: Produced from a blend of Chardonnay and Pinot Noir, this refined sparkling wine spent 24 months on the lees and offers a clean, crisp profile and fine, persistent mousse. Dry, light-medium bodied, it's defined by notes of almond biscuit, green apple, citrus and mineral. There's a tangy note of lemon zest on the extended, refreshingly dry finish. This is a great choice to celebrate with friends or enjoy with a light meal. Score - 4 1/2 Stars (out of 5) (Susan Desjardins, winecurrent.com, April 7, 2014) Price $ 17.95
