Iron Horse Russian Cuvee is a go-to favorite for informal celebrations and "let's have some 'champagne'" nights. Small bubbles and a smooth, easy style have garnered positive reviews even from friends who claim to dislike sparkling wine.

Enjoyed with salsa. Bright straw color. Good tight bubbles. Lemon lime and mushy apple. Aggressive fruit start which bleeds off into a buttery yeast. Finishes moderately dry but does not clean up all that well on the back end.

Delicious. Less yeasty than I expected given the age and the extra year en tirage. But a delicious and rich bubbly, as expected.
