Wine Review: This pale yellow colored sparkler opens with a fragrant bread dough and apple bouquet with overtones of honey. On the palate, this wine is full bodied, crisp. and effervescent. The flavor profile is tart green apple and orange with notes of minerality. The finish is quite dry and lingers. The panel suggested pairing this with shrimp scampi or a spinach salad with a warm bacon dressing. Enjoy – KWGTP

Winemaker Notes: The aromas are sweet and inviting with fresh lemon and lime, followed by pineapple and Jolly Rancher green apple. The generous nose is accentuated by a salty minerality that leads way to the yeastiness of fresh from the oven bread. Upon first taste, the 2007 Blanc de Blancs delivers delicious flavors of green apple, fresh honeydew melon and lemon custard. The palate finishes with a pleasant acidity that is crisp, long and lingering. – Winemakers Keith Hock and Hugh Davies
