Scharffenberger Cellars Mendocino County Brut Sparkling Wine
|
|
This foamy, moderately rich sparkler is in all ways defined by time on the yeast, and fruit becomes but a distant player in its display of cream and toast. Despite the obvious autolysis found in its makeup, it is always quite clean, very well-focused and free of excess. It is very dry without being in the least way austere, and, if a fine choice for aperitif drinking, it can also work as a no-risk companion to a wide range of milder seafood recipes. GOOD VALUE

Emits toast and yeast on the nose, but the fruit has a bit of a green edge. Still, it has pleasant nut, fig and citrus qualities.
