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.

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

Sangiovese grapes add a new dimension of flavor. As good as the natural. Little more pricey. Only available from kit le wine club.

The tiniest of bubbles and delightfully dry. Pale pink in color from the grape skins. 2012 vintage and so good!
