2016 North Coast Blanc de Blanc Sparkling Wine
90 Points, Some Magazine
From one of the coldest vineyards we work with, this increasingly famous site sits on a high ridge just east of the town of Occidental. The nose shows lemon and grapefruit zest, honey toffee and Jasmine tea, cardamom-clove, pineapple, and green apple along with a toasty hazelnut note. The palate is full of mineral-laced acidity, while maintaining an oily richness that is beguilingly dense and lingering before the profound acidity clears the way for the next sip.
