Champagne at Red Slate; 11/13/2009-11/19/2009: Bright lemons appear on the nose with some apple scents, but it's all kind of faint. Some barely ripe pear flavors show up and the apples come in full on the palate delivering both fruit and peel flavors. The bubbles are direct, and some orange peel flavors come in on the finish.

(NV Château Martinolles Blanquette de Limoux) Very light yellow color with steady, tiny bubbles; yeasty, green almond nose; creamy textured, yeasty, green almond, mineral palate; medium-plus finish (a strong value in sparkling wine)

Nose of green apples, dough and some minerality. Nice apple, pear flavors with hints of lemon and bread dough.

This was awful--no acid backbone at all, which made it flat and flabby. It wasn't balanced--just sweet. I think it's just a fundamentally flawed wine.

Just screaming good deal, with toast, mushroom, and citrus to the well balanced package. I think this retails around $11 or so.
