Absolutely gorgeous color plus rich flavors, in part from the addition of Pinot Noir still wine to the "normal" Pinot Noir/Chardonnay sparkling mix just before bottling and secondary fermentation. Bone dry, but with nice yeastiness and a soft, strawberry-tinged flavor profile. Creamy mouth feel and clean finish. - HK 2001-12-12
