Gruet Blanc de Noirs NV
United StatesToast overrides raspberry, cherry in this New Mexican misnomer blanc de noirs, a blend of 75/25 pinot noir/chardonnay. Oak aging further ups the toastiness here, as does 24 months on the lees. This is a coarser textured fizz, able to handle smoked pork ribs or baked beans (for reals). On its own, lacks finesse.Tasted: 09 August 2017Tasted by: Treve RingPrices:BC | $35.00 | 750ml | private wine shops |
