I used to only see this at wine shops, but lately I've been seeing it at grocery stores – frequently on sale for as low as $13.A fairly large, yeasty nose with all sorts of lemon.
The palate here is solid and bold – loads of light berry notes, some lime, and tart green apple. The palate is large but the mouthfeel is light and crisp, fruity and ultimately quite dry.
Lemon and lime, both juice and zest, linger on the palate.
I feel fairly strongly that this is the best sparkling wine for under $15 out there – especially in wide distribution. It's better than most things closer to $20 and even some of the more basic level Champagnes.
Wine: 8.5
Value: Hell yes
