#AgedWineTuesday
Light gold in color.
Nice crisp nose with limes and brioche.
Light to medium in body with medium plus acidity and small bubbles.
Dry on the palate with nice complexity.
Showing citrus, yeast, minerals, bread, green apples, herbs, earth, lemon juice and white pepper.
Long finish, tasty and elegant.
This 16 year old still feels very young, and will continue to age nicely in the next 10 to 15 years. Rich and well balanced.
I love this vintage of Dom Perignon. Complex and interesting. I've had this vintage it a few times before, and it is very consistent.
Good by itself as a sipping wine, or with food. Good stuff.
12.5% alcohol by volume.

SPARKLING LUNCH
Pale salmon in color.
Light red fruits on the nose with apples, apricots, strawberries, minerals, yeast, brioche and spices.
Medium bodied with medium plus acidity.
Dry on the palate with raspberries, strawberries, citrus, lemons, apples, yeast, spices, bread, minerals and light sea salt.
Long finish with lemons and limes.
This is a delicious Rosé Sparkling wine from Russian River Valley. Nicely balanced and elegant.
Delicate and reserved. Fruity, crisp and easy drinking. Feels like a Rosé Champagne.
Needs 45 minutes of airtime to open up properly. Worth the wait.
This vintage Sparkling wine will continue to age nicely in the next 5 to 7 years.
