Really tight, pronounced bubbles. A hint of apples and vanilla. Definitely not a brut sparkler, but the r.s. helped with a variety of spice and fried food. Overall, a good fairly complex wine, if not perfectly balanced.

Didn't take notes, but this was a very solid sparkling wine, with some yeasty notes up front and nice fruit on a long finish. Tasty now, but will still age for a bit.

pale straw color. Tight crisp bubbles. Slight vanilla and yeastiness to the nose. Crisp and dry, little creaminess. Tart apples with a touch of lemon zest. Green yeasty finish. Tasty but not spectacular.

Didn't take notes, but this was a solid CA sparkler again that is ready to drink. Nice balance of acidity and richness.
