"A delightfully racy sparkler, with tart apple and floral anise aromas leading to zesty lime and lemon flavors, presenting accents of cinnamon and spicy ginger. Drink now. 25,000 cases made. -T.F." (Reviewed 10/13)

"Another fine sparkling wine from Scharffenberger, this two-thirds Chardonnay to one-third Pinot Noir, made in fairly large quantity but excellently priced. At first it's a swirl of caramel apple, very inviting, before diving into a frothy mousse that's dry and balanced in acidity. -V.B." (03/13)
