Presenting an exceedingly light straw color in the glass, bubbles lines the sides evenly in pillars of bubbles.  Served cold (45° to 50°F), the yeasty nose on this wine is reminiscent of country white bread, lightly toasted and buttered.

On the attack this blended (90% Pinot Noir 10% Chardonnay) sparkler is sharp with green apple undertones.  The midpalate is deceptively wide.  Given the opportunity to expand, the layers of bubbles give way to creamy vanilla, poached pear and red delicious apples notes with just a hint of banana.

The delightfully light finish lingers on the rear of the palate with both the dance of bubbles and ripe pear notes.

Sparklers, in general are not designed to age.  Store at 55°F; Serve at 45° to 50°F.
