Tasting - Coastal Vines Brut


Name: Coastal Vines Brut
Variety: Blend (55.7% French Colombard, 35.7% Chardonnay, 8.6% Mixed Whites)
Region: California
Country: U.S.A
Year: N/A

Critic Review: Coastal Vines Sparkling Wine is a light colored wine with aromas of apple and citrus. On the palate there are flavors of melon and pear. The finish is crisp and clean. Pair with cheeses, like brie, for appetizers; grilled garlic shrimp over a bed of pasta; or with a light white cake for dessert. -- Vintage Cellar Tasting Notes

My Review: This wine smelled and tasted exactly like carbonated apple juice.  The bubbles were nice on the palate, and added a crispness to the wine.  There was also little to no heat.  While I thought this wine was very tasty, I found it too sweet to drink more than a tasting portion.

I did not taste this wine with food.
