Tasting Notes: Elegant streams of ultra-fine bubbles fill the glass, complemented by generous aromas of bright lemon, freshly cut hay, and a hint of strawberry and currant. The palate is crisp and vibrant, showcasing a concentration of flavors that range from ripe Meyer lemon, to white cherry, white peach, gentle notes of honeyed brioche and a whisper of buttered croissant. The energetic and lively bubbles persist alongside the heightening complexity of aromas. With a barely perceptible dosage, the result is an evocative representation of the Carneros terroir with a finih that is bright, clean and endlessly refreshing.
