Carneros, North Coast, California, USA
This was a vintage sparkler they made 20 barrels of using methode champenoise. It’s 60% chardonnay and 40% pinot noir aged en tirage for 2 years before release and dosaged at 9g/L. It’s a nice round sparkler showing the brightness of the red fruit with enough acidity to keep the whole package very fresh. Good now in it’s youth, but should gain a little complexity as the red fruit does back over the next couple years.
