Our 2018 sparkling wine is a cuvée of Chardonnay and Pinot Noir fruit. Delicate, fine beads rise-up through your glass as the wine is poured. Fragrant aromas of Honeycrisp apple and Asian pear are complimented with hints of hazelnut, light yeast/brioche, mineral, lemon, and wild strawberry. On the palate, fruit is balanced with Sonoma-Cutrer’s signature acidity with baked apple, nut, and light strawberry flavors shining through. This sparkler is a perfect pairing with goat cheese, fruit tarts or fresh oysters with salmon caviar.
