Wine Review: This pale yellow colored sparkler showed well for the panel. It does not have many bubbles, which was noted. It does open with a faint apple and lemon like bouquet. On the palate, this wine is medium bodied, bubbly and balanced. The flavor profile is a mild apple with notes of citrus throughout. Grapefruit, key lime, and orange all were mentioned. The finish is dry and its flavors stick around for a while. Many of the panel members felt this was a good summer option. They would serve it with grilled swordfish kabobs or grilled tuna with a mango sauce. Enjoy - KWGTP

Winemaker Notes: The 2010 Blanc de Blancs open with fresh aromas of green apple, juicy pineapple and ripe grapefruit. The fruitful nose is complemented by developed nuances of fresh baked brioche and lemon tart. Bright flavors of grapefruit, lime and pineapple, are accented by a slight minerality on the finish. The plate is crisp on entry, with a long, tangy and refreshing acidity.
