Only for purchase at tasting room in Sonoma. Fave of the Korbel options (also great military discount!).

So surprising - have to go to their place in the Russian River Valley to get it, but it is one of the best blanc de noirs I have had.

Sour cherry, dirty strawberry, raspberry and citrus. Some breadiness on the nose, but not as much on the palate compared to the tart acid. Overall, this is somewhat enigmatic and intriguing, and much better than Korbel's standard brut.

Enjoyed this Blanc de Noir from Korbel. A blend of Sangiovese, Gamay, and Pinot noir. On the nose, strawberry, rose, raspberry. On the palate, sour cherry, peach, strawberry, medium dry, and medium acidity. #champagnions #winelife #bubbles

Very calm champagne easy on the palate, great for mimosas.

Masters blend is quite nice. Perhaps a bit fizzy due to the method of production, but enjoyable nonetheless.
