2023 capital call

BLANC DE BLANCS

This beauty of a sparkling Chardonnay is from the Columbia Valley’s 2023 vintage, showcasing a bright green apple bouquet with a hint of grapefruit. Extended swirling and sniffing finds earthy notes and a pleasant yeast aroma.

 

The palate is lively; bright acidity balanced with delicate bubbles makes this a silky sip. Purists would clutch their pearls if anyone suggested making mimosas; it’s perfect on its own and would support all the classic Champagne pairings: grilled shrimp with garlic/salt/butter, oysters, or a caviar-topped omelette. At most, put a fresh strawberry on the rim of the flute.

“Soft bubbles help deliver a nice lemon and peach aromatic combination that is almost matched in intensity by an earthy note similar to a freshly tilled garden. The medium-bodied méthode traditionelle sparkling wine’s flavors remind me of a cherry-flavored shaved ice flecked with guava.” – Wine Enthusiast

93 Points | Paul Gregutt (NV)

“It’s a toasty, creamy sparkler, rich and enveloping. Made in the Champagne method, it’s got a fine mousse, good penetration and length, with lightly buttery apple pastry flavors.” – Paul Gregutt
