winemaker's notes:
This 1997 Brut delivers one of the most concentrated and complex aromas yet in our Brut! Look for fresh applesauce, lemon custard, toasted baguette, and roasted hazelnut aromas. "Let us boast about the aromas of toast and roast from this bubbly from the coast!" The flavors are a creamy apple trimmed with the firm mineral acidity expected from a cool, maritime climate. The finish flavors last a long time and move from fresh apple to a spicy toastiness.

I first tried the Rose version of this sparkler about 10 years ago, on the recommendation of a friend who has never steered me wrong on wine. Pink Champagne??? Are you KIDDING ME??? But I was surprised and humbled to find this was a terrific champagnoise and I enjoyed it thoroughly, though I am not a big sparkler fan in general.
Fast Forward: Bought two bottles of the brut (I believe this very vintage) more recently to celebrate the Patriots SuperBowl victory, and they tasted as good as the win itself !!
I'm not a fan of sparklers, but this find from Oregon is definitely worth a try for your next special occasion.
