This is gorgeous bubbly from Steve Rogstad’s team — maybe its best to date. It melds apple and pear freshness with notes of nut and dough and finishes with a zesty kiss that keeps the elements tied together through a long, lip-smacking finish that will have you at the bottom in a hurry. The moral of the story? Have a few on hand. Contains 62% Pinot Noir and 38% Chardonnay.
Cuvaison, Los Carneros, Napa Valley (California) 2018
