Almost ⅔ Chardonnay, ⅓ Pinot Noir and a 5% splash of Viognier to make it exciting.
This is one complex sparkler. It comes on with some Meyer lemon and tangerine, which is quickly greeted by a toasty note, then squeezed aside by a smokey aspect. There's a lot going on in there. The palate is simply delicious, with savory overtones on the fruit flavors. Acidity zips right along, but doesn't make a nuisance of itself. Pair away with, you know, anything - it's a bubbly - but I'm just going to sip this until it's gone.

Surpsingly beautiful bubble. Dry clean and balanced. A great discovery from a little wine shop in Boise.
