2007 Domaine Carneros by Taittinger - Brut Carneros

This is a glamorous, fashionable wine that gives the pleasure you want in a bubbly. It’s dryish and crisp, with doughy yeast, raspberry and lime flavors. A good price for a California sparkling wine of this quality.

Fresh Meyer lemon and apple aromas lead to supple flavors of lime and nectarine, layered with crème brûlée and cinnamon spice.

Aromas of freesias, baked pear, melon and citrus peel are enhanced with notes of toast and vanilla. The wine is elegantly structured, round and flavorful with a signature long, creamy finish. Food Pairing: Delicious with double or triple cream cheeses, oysters, shellfish, fish, poultry, and Asian and California cuisine. This wine is capable of aging gracefully for 10 years or more.
