Community Tasting Note

  January 20, 2018 - Normally leave detailed tasting notes, but had a few wines tonight so cannot accommodate. That being said, this is a wine worth sharing overall thoughts. Here goes...
  
  Overall, a very nice surprise. Light bubbles, excellent flavor (Chardonel really needs more representation, an undervalued grape) and pretty good QPR for the bottle. The leese in the bottle really adds to the taste; greatly appreciated. Would like more bubbles, but given the method of making, can't expect the world. Haven't tried the regular Chardonel from this producer, so not sure if the regular Chardonel bottle from this producer is better overall (it was sold out when arriving, so maybe?). Still, given the potential in this bottle, really hoping that the producer puts more investment into this type of wine. Would love to see a high quality true sparkling wine from NOVA, and this wine is already is a strong contender. If the bottle has more fizz, would likely give this a 91+. All in all, very well done.
