Wine Review: This coral colored sparkler is a good value consideration for your holiday parties. It opens with a mild apple bouquet. On the palate, this wine is light bodied, slightly acidic, and crisp. The flavor profile is a mineral infused green pear. The finish is rather dry. Serve it with appetizers. Enjoy - KWGTP

Winemaker Notes: 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. You will find the Blanc de Noirs outstanding with crab, Thai cuisine, roast pork, or semi-sweet desserts.
