I liked this more than the blanc de blanc. On same quality level as the other big CA houses. Moderately effervescent with lemon and some stone fruit. Not complex but still enjoyable.

Nose of lemon and orange. Cream, yeast, and yogurt. Some apple, grape skin, and seltzer. Flavor is slightly sweet and a touch acidic. Lots of green apple, melon, and grapefruit. Sweet grape, some mineral oil, and yeast. Pretty nice.

(NV Piper Sonoma Blanc de Blancs Select Cuvée Sonoma) A fairly aromatic sparkler that is absolutely loaded with green apple fruit and skin aromas and flavors. Finishes tart and slightly sweet. 95% Chardonnay, 5% others. Aged on lees at least 16 months. 30,500 cases produced.

Good solid sparkling wine, balanced and focused, fruit and acid work well together, drank with cheese, will drink again.

Decent everyday sparkler. Lemon meringue and a bit of apple. Finish is a bit on the bitey/harsh side.

This wine has a deep yellow color with a mild bite. It is not sweet, but very dry.
