Med lemon color, med bubbles with fairly long persistence. Med intensity to the youthful nose of lemon, lime, ripe apple, mineral, slight notes of sugar cookie. Off-dry, med+ acidity, creamy mouse, med alcohol, med body, med intensity to the flavors of lemon, lime, mineral. Simple, slighty off-balance finish with med- length. A pretty good value as it a trad method sparkler with good flavor at under $15.

Good value Cava with a fun name. Straight forward flavors of lemon, lime, green apple and a touch of coconut. The palate picks up a bit of mineral to go with it's bright acidity, and clean short finish.

Well, it's wine. It's not bad, it's just not good. Heavy nose of Welch's grape juice with a bit of cherry tossed in. Ok palate. I paid $3, and tossed it in a braise.
