Vintage Cellar Review: Light gold with plenty of bubbles, this wine has aromas of apples and pears with pleasant floral notes. Crisp and light-bodied on the palate, stone fruit flavors are accompanied by a mild minerality and balanced acidity. A delicious sparkler for a great price!
My Review: The word brut just has a bad connotation in my mind, since it reminds me of all the dry, gross wine that was my first taste of sparkling wine and basically alcohol in general. I kind of resent that about my mom, for giving me the driest, most tastless stuff for my first drink, but whatever. This wine was gratefully not like that. The smell especially was aromatic of apples and peaches and just overall sweet, but I knew the taste would not be like that. Of course it was dry like I knew it would be, but the strong fruit flavors counteracted that to make the entire taste nice and round. This combination of dry, brut flavor mixing with fruit came off very earthy and minerally. I rad the description and thought what the hell is a stone fruit flavor, but after drinking this you will know exactly what that means. Overall, this was a great brut that redeems some scarring childhood memories.
