What a delightful Sparkling Wine (Champagne for the non-french). I was not expecting much. I got this quite awhile back as a member of their Sparkling Wine Club, where I have been a member for a long time. I enjoy their sparkling wines and their Pinot Noir which they send often is very respectable. In any case this sparkler is a Demi-Sec, or a "sweeter" sparkling wine, reminiscent of the fine over sweetened Korbel of my misspent youth. Thus I was in no hurry to open it.
That is so not fair with this wine. It is sweeter, but still a true sparkling wine. Great yeasty nose and wonderful subtle/sweet on the tongue. Really a very nice taste treat. With the tiny bubbles that is a Domaine trademark, there are all of the fine Champagne tastes and flavors in a California Sparkling wine. Pick this up if you can find it. (Note, just found out it is only available to wine club members.)
Back in awhile.
