Scharffenberger Brut

Sparkling   BN#151194
Varietal Pinot Noir, Chardonnay
Category Sparkling Wine
Region California : North Coast : Mendocino
Producer Scharffenberger
Alcohol 12.0%


The wine is two-thirds Pinot Noir which produces a red fruit forward nose (cherry and plum) combined with one-third Chardonnay which adds the tropical expression of lychee nut and mango. The 100% malolactic fermentation adds a vanilla cream character producing a round and full-bodied wine. After approximately two years on the lees, there are notes of freshly baked bread and pastry that enhances the more fruit forward style of the wine. Finally, after several months on the cork, the wine develops caramel and hazel complexors.

Wine Enthusiast Here's a polished, elegant wine, very dry, with delicate flavors of citrus rind, bread dough and yeast, toast and vanilla. It's has a lightness and charm on the palate that make it irresistible. Score: 91. —Steve Heimoff, March 01, 2006.

Wine Spectator Distinctive for its baked pear, orange zest and spice notes with crisp apple and lemon flavors blended nicely, adding richness on the finish. Drink now. 25,000 cases made. Score: 87. —James Laube, December 15, 2005.
