Wine Review: This straw-colored Blanc de Noirs displays many medium sized streaming bubbles. It opens with a gentle bread dough and green grape bouquet with hints of lychee. On the palate, this wine is medium bodied, balanced and easy to drink. The flavor profile is a mineral influenced lemon with notes of ginger. We also detected hints of white pepper, strawberry and grapefruit. The finish is refreshing and its flavors drift away nicely. This Sparkler would pair well with wild mushroom appetizers. Enjoy – KWGTP

Winemaker Notes: The 2015 Blanc de Noirs expresses generous aromas of white peach, dried mango and fresh honeycomb, which gradually layer with fragrances of milk chocolate and marzipan. Rich flavors coat the palate with apricot, strawberry cream, almond and dark spice, while a lively acidic backbone gives way to a candied ginger and Mandarin orange finish.
