Finally getting around to posting wines from my annual Napa trip from two weeks ago. Always goes by quick! Lots of fun new stops this year.
The Fantesca property on Spring Mtn is gorgeous, and their tasting room at the winery is stunning. Really enjoyed getting to try more of their wines.
Our visit ended with our wonderful hostess giving us a bottle of champagne to take to dinner. A very enjoyable and easy drinking rosé that has a little bit of all your looking for...strawberries, gummy red fruits, chalk, limestone, toasted scone with black cherry spread a touch of sweetness toward the finish. A perfect pairing with Bistro Jeanty’s puff pastry topped tomato soup! One of our favorite restaurants in the valley!

Excessive yeast on the palette. Nice pin-sized bubbles, but other than that, I was underwhelmed.

Some solid bubbles with plenty of mineral-laced strawberries muddled in island spices. Fresh and youthful, yet enough body to cause one to pause and savor. 65% Pinot Noir, 35% Chardonnay. Dosage: 8g/l

Aug 17th, 2019Fun night celebrating a dear friend’s birthday at Lucio’s BYOB over dinner. Everyone brought their own bottles to share with the group that was gathered.

A nice bottle of Rosé bubbles with a certain degree of finesse and elegance that I think just about anyone could identify and appreciate. Raspberries, strawberries, spices and minerals. Balanced and gulpable. Dosage: 8 g/l. 65% Pinot Noir and 35% Chardonnay.

My wife says this is a 10. So why argue? There are more expressive rose sparklers but hard to find one more refined. It will break the bank though. Heck, who needs retirement?
