Steller's Jay Brut Méthode Classique 2009
Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaStruck stone, beach sand, lemon pith and rind and light nut shell on the nose leads into this medium bodied sparkler, BC's best selling sparkling wine in the old Sumac Ridge portfolio and now a stand along brand on its own. As before, the 2009 is a blend of pinot blanc, pinot noir and chardonnay, and leads in the mouth with assertive bubbles, green apple, bitter lemon pith, anise and a white grapefruit cushion of fruit on the palate. The end finishes crisp and tight. Consistent, easy to find and a good pour with shellfish, canapés.Tasted: 24 March 2015Tasted by: Treve RingPrices:BC | $22.00 | 750ml | specialty listing, VQA |
