The wine is a lovely light salmon color and offers up a fine nose of strawberry, blood orange, rye toast, a fine base of chalky soil tones and a touch of clove-like spices in the upper register.

On the palate the wine is crisp, full-bodied and zesty, with a good core, elegant mousse and very good length and grip on the youthful and well-balanced finish.

Grape: 75% chardonnay, 25% still pinot noir
