Scharffenberger Brut Excellence Mendocino County Brut Sparkling Wine
SKU #50641896
Winery Notes- After approximately two years on the lees, there are notes of freshly baked bread and pastry that enhance the more fruit forward style of the wine. Finally, after several months on the cork, the wine develops additional complexity, featuring essences of caramel and hazelnut.
JAMES SUCKLING RATING: 91
JAMES SUCKLING REVIEW: Pleasant floral and yeast aromas with sliced grapefruit and lemon as well. Medium-bodied with quite a presence on the palate. Bright citrus and honeysuckle wash over the palate with a lifting, firm mousse. A hint of nutmeg, too. Well structured with good depth. Disgorged in 1/2021.
WINE & SPIRITS RATING: 90
WINE & SPIRITS REVIEW: A fresh new release from Scharffenberger, Roederer Estate’s sister winery in Anderson Valley, this feels clean and sunny, with green melon, raw almond and green tea notes that last. It’s refreshing and comfortably balanced, the best wine from Scharffenberger we’ve tasted in many years.
WINE SPECTATOR REVIEW: A lively sparkler, crisp and spritzy, with easygoing pear, lemon and creamy spice flavors.
