NV Racines Grand Reserve Sparkling Wine, Santa Rita Hills

San Francisco Wine Panel Score 91+ Points

This is a gorgeous bubbly, gutsy and clearly bone dry, with a persistent, pinpoint mousse and the elegance to temper its sense of scale. It has big mid-palate impact and lingering flavors that layer toasty-oaky spice and suggestions of red berries and dry peaches, honey and obvious youth. Serve with full flavored appetizers now, or watch it grow creamier over the next several years.
