This is a delicious, elegant, festive Champagne-taste-alike that must have been interesting to assemble -- the juice comes from Napa, Sonoma, Mendocino, Monterey, and Marin grapes. Aside from the usual comforting yeastiness, this wine has an appealing buttered-apple-like component in both the nose and flavors. Smooth and sophisticated in the mouth and finish. - HK 2003-11-12
