Gruet Blanc de Noirs NV (750 ml) California Sonoma Chardonnay

Gruet Blanc de Noirs NV (750 ml) California Sonoma ChardonnayThe rich and toasty character of the Blanc de Noirs is balanced and superb. Aged for a two year minimum, the palate is developed and shows rich complex flavors. The amazing berries aromas and the creamy texture play a leading role and create a great finesse. A fine salmon color, aggressive mousse, and lovely fruity wine with plenty of immediate charm and toasty aromas. There is also an explosive juicy flavor of raspberry. Critical Acclaim WW90Wilfred

a juicy spine of acidity

lively rounded mouth-feel

The medium-bodied palate has a seriously racy line of freshness cutting through the intense citrus and tropical fruit layers

Mildly sweet aromas of Golden Delicious apple flesh and gardenias are punctuated by a bit of blueberry

Merlot doesn't typically taste this good in America

meaning the wine will age well over the medium-term

In order to create its richness

and a touch of earthy minerality
