Until the end of 2022, 10% from sales of this reserve wine will go to the Walk to End Alzheimer's® in Washington State as a direct donation to help raise awareness and funds for Alzheimer's care, support and research. This Sparkling is perfectly balanced- not too sweet and not too dry. An exhilarating crowd-pleaser.
Predominant apple and pear notes on the nose, accompanied by minerality and slight lemon rind citrus; very sublime caramel aroma. Similar to the nose, flavors of Granny Smith apple and Bartlett pear are present on the palate. Very nice richness in the mouth; a little bread dough, citrus, and minerality comes through on the finish.
Full-bodied with aromas of dark cocoa and hints of vanilla, lush Bing cherry flavors, and a long, lingering smooth finish. Elegant and supple on the palate, the juicy red fruit flavors are punctuated by the round, soft, medium-body mouthfeel. The tannins remain chewy through the finish.
On the nose, floral notes of lily and stone fruit – apricots, peaches, and a subtle hint of pineapples and coconuts. More stone fruit flavors - peach, nectarine, and mango - present on the palate. Nice viscosity on the mid-palate and finish, complemented by flavors of bread dough. An excellent acid balance exists throughout.
Aromas of black currant, plum, and black cherry are lifted by a bouquet of baking spices, dark chocolate, dried herbs, and cedar from over a year of barrel aging. The palate is bursting with primary fruit and a broad, rich tannin structure.
Lots of plum, blackberry, and huckleberry aromas with slight black pepper spice on the nose. Packed with dark fruit flavors, the entry is mouth-filling with jammy fruit throughout the mid-palate. Subtle coffee and spice notes towards the finish. Pair it with marinated and grilled flank steak, sautéed mushrooms and grilled vegetables.
