The Third Annual Blind Tasting of American Sparkling Wine: Retail $16. French Colombard, Sangiovese, Chardonnay, Pinot Gris, Pinot Noir. Wow. Almost a dessert-wine-like color here—golden to the core. Over-ripe apple, a bit of petrol, even. I am not sure what to make of this quite yet. The palate has some sweetness to it, but far from cloying. There is some fruit, but it is shrouded in an oxidative/sherried note that is not all that unpleasant, but it is a bit out of place in this tasting. Still, for what it is? Not bad. 88. thedrunkencyclist.com
