Wine Review: This pale gold-colored sparkling wine from Domaine Carneros opens with lots of random small streaming bubbles. The bouquet displays lemon curd and kiwi aromas with hints of Anjou pear, croissant, and ocean breeze. On the palate, this wine is medium bodied with medium plus acidity. The mouthfeel is slightly creamy, crisp, and has medium froth. The flavor profile is a moist bread dough and ginger ale blend with notes of lime zest, Anjou pear, and toasted almond. We also detected some hints of white pepper, apricot, and chalky minerality. The finish is dry, and its acidity and flavors linger and last for a while. We would pair this sparkler with Chilean sea bass in puff pastry. Enjoy – Ken & Mark
