Wine Review: This light yellow colored sparkler with lots of bubbles opens with a mild apple bouquet with a hint of dough. On the palate, this wine is medium bodied, crisp, and effervescent. The flavor profile is a mineral infused tart lemon with a hint of strawberry. The finish is dry and remains crisp and refreshing. This sparkler is a pleasant appertif. It would pair quite well with bacon wrapped scallops. Enjoy – Ken

Winemaker Notes: The wine offers abundant aromas of ripe apple, Asian pear and Bing cherries amid enticing yeasty tones. On the palate, rich flavors of ripe peach, Meyer lemon, fresh berries and vanilla join with creamy textures in a lasting finish.
