winemaker's notes:

A distinctive blend of 92% Pinot and 8% Chardonnay, this light-bodied sparkling wine displays a slight pink color, resulting from a special pressing technique. Bright strawberry and black cherry aromas with subtle vanilla highlights. Creamy cherry, lemon and cola flavors combine with a lush palate, small, lively bubbles and a persistent finish.

Our Blanc de Noirs is predominantly made from hand-harvested Pinot Noir grapes, the hallmarks of which are a vibrant red fruit character. The creamy palate and rosy hue are a result of a small addition of Vin Gris, which was blended into the base cuvée. Over forty different clones and selections of Pinot Noir and Chardonnay are planted on our 340-acre estate in the Sonoma Carneros district. This allows us to consistently produce cuvées with complexity and clear fruit expression.

"Fresh bakery aromas of almond and caramel. Sweet and buttery with peach and honey flavors. Delicate, sweet finish with lingering notes of warm baguette, nutmeg and vanilla."
-Wine News

"This bubbly charms with cherry and raspberry flavors and a touch of limes and vanilla. It's nice and smooth in the mouth, with a creamy mousse. Showing real finesse and elegance, this sparkler will be delicious with raw tuna."
-Wine Enthusiast

  didn't care for it - 8/15/2009
I would not buy this wine again
i didn't care for it much at all, very strong sparkling wine, very strong carbonation, would probably be good for a party, just have to sip it. i prefer a gentler wine. i also ordered a bottle of Mionetto Il Moscato sparkling wine in my last order and it was delicious! and it's only 12 bux so if you're looking for a tasty sparkling wine, i highly reccomend that one instead.

Kosher wine
Kosher
A Kosher wine begins like every other - as grapes on a vine. Once they reach the winery for crushing, the wine is under strict rabbinal supervision.
Screw Cap wine
Screw Cap
Many studies report and winemakers agree that screw caps protect wine better and preserve its flavor more effectively than cork. More importantly, screw caps eliminate cork taint caused by TCA, a compound which develops in a small percentage of corks and ruins the taste of wine.
