Sipping Fine Wine 
Began in 1981 in Anderson Valley, a few miles from the coast, first known as Pacific Echo until 2004. Made by the traditional méthode champenoise process with two-thirds Pinot Noir and one-third Chardonnay is an amazing value. The wine shows a complex rich style with stone, berry and citrus fruit flavors, lively acidity with a smooth mouthfeel. Long finish ending with mineral and biscuit notes. Nice! Good value.

The wine is approximately two-thirds Pinot Noir and one-third Chardonnay and undergoes 100% malolactic fermentation. Aromas of tart fruits on the nose along with fresh baked bread notes. The palate shows light red combined tropical and citrus fruits. Rapid bubbles, the wine finishes with creamy yeasty tones, a good value for this sparkler.

Roederer Estate and Scharffenberger both call Anderson Valley home and together yield some of California’s most consistently delicious and affordable sparkling wines. Of the couple, Scharffenberger vinifies rounder, more lush wines. Flavors of ripe pear skin, white rose, and baked apple find their footing against a backdrop of yeast, cheese rind, and patisserie in the image of Champagne. The perfect wedding reception wine or Tuesday night sparkler for its tremendous quality to cost ratio.

Pastry/ bread sweet notes contrasted against some pear fruit.

It's been about a year since I had a bottle, thought I would try it again. Began in 1981 in Anderson Valley, a few miles from the coast, first known as Pacific Echo until 2004. Made by the traditional méthode champenoise process with two-thirds Pinot Noir and one-third Chardonnay is an amazing value. The wine shows a complex rich style with stone, berry and citrus fruit flavors, lively acidity with a smooth mouthfeel. Lingering finish ending with big mineral notes. Nice!
