Méthode Champenoise Carneros Sparkling Blanc de Blancs

This is a very tasty sparkling wine from California.

Yellow in color with a golden tint.

On the nose lemons, green and yellow apples, spices, light herbs, minerals, earth, yeast, light grapefruits and white pepper.

Medium plus in body and lightly creamy, with high acidity and small bubbles.

Dry on the palate with limes, lemons, grapefruits, green and red apples, yeast, spices, sea salt, minerals and light earth.

Medium on the finish with tangy lemons and sea salt.

This is a really nice surprise. Tangy and enjoyable by itself. Easy drinking and nicely balanced. Feels more like a Crémant from Burgundy.

Showing nice complexity on the nose and the palate, which surprised me. A great value for this price point.

I had it by all by itself on the beach. Can't beat that.

i said buttery and was corrected that there is no oak involved. creamy instead.

With first course of Broccoli salad. Wait to taste until after first bite of food, else too bubbly
