Domaine Carneros Brut Carneros Sparkling 2008
Carneros, Napa Valley, California, United StatesWhen you want the complexity and legacy of Champagne without the price reach for a bottle of Domaine Carneros Brut Cuvée, a ground-breaking California sparkling house, founded by and in conjunction with Champagne's illustrious Domaine Taittinger. Opening with toast, shell, frizzed lemon pith, and whiffs of apricot fuzz notes before a lightly nutty, full palate, textured with lemon and stone spice. Rounder in mouth, with shell, apricot scent on the finish. Generous, but still fresh, this can handle courses from canapés through poultry or seafood for the main.Tasted: 07 December 2014Tasted by: Prices:BC | $37.00 | 750ml | speculative listing - Pacific Wine and Spirits |
