Reductive, green apples, bitter almond, and surprisingly small perlage. A surprise.

Had this wine at Marriott Palm Beach Club Hotel. Straw yellow with stone and citrus notes. Rapid bubbles. On the palate peach, Apple and pineapple hits a stride with a touch of minerality and fresh bread on the finish. Not bad but pricey at a hotel.

Light, fruity, dry. Easy drinker. Not much complexity. Definitely go with the Michelle Rosé.

63% Chardonnay, 19% Pinot Noir, 18% Pinot Gris. 11.5% alc.
Dry and crisp and a pleasant surprise (for a domestic sparkler). Nice value at $12!

A bit too strong and acidic for my tastes. Even the sparkle was a tad exaggerated.

Ripe granny apple, banana, white grape and mango fruit salad squeezed into a pretty bottle and a new label. Fun sparkling wine! Drink it! $10 / 86+pts

Second time tasting (this time aboard Princess Cruises). Pale yellow hue. Aromas of almond, apple, citrus, minerals, pear, toast. Pronounced apple and pear on the palate. Light bodied with high acidity. Lingering finish. Solid, budget alternative to traditional Champagnes. Blend of Chardonnay, Pinot Meunier, Pinot Noir.

Pale yellow hue. Aromas of citrus, peach, and pear, with apple and minerals on the palate. Medium-minus body, with high acidity. Medium-short finish.
