I found this to be a delightful little sparkling. Inoffensive, in the best sense - which is that flavors, though very, very muted, are balanced; no discrete patterns or punch, but unlike some others, I did find this wine to have some character, and a great value accordingly. Lemon and green apple, hint of bready yeast, not much more, but at $8, it's enough. Very pleasant and light.

One of the prettiest wines I've ever tasted. Had the benefit of having this wine as a remnant bottle from my wife's work, so it has been opened for several hours. Massive perfume - but something of dainty flowers, a different kind of florality than I've yet had - suggestions of fresh, crushed violets? Excellent balance, with flavors of cherry skins and again floral, pleasant bitterness taking this on a long, long swallow.

Awful. Overloaded with an obvious attempt to "global." Won't bother with more descriptors.
