I love the life and balance that the J Vineyards California Cuvée Sparkling Wine bring to the table. This wine is refined and elegant, yet persistent and long on the palate. Its aromas and flavors of ripe Golden Delicious apples and bright and appealing. Pair it with lightly smoked oysters.

Flavorful and polished, this supple wine blends subtle apple and pear notes with buttery, creamy accents. It is rich in character and softly framed by fine bubbles and elegant acidity, with a hint of sweetness on the finish.

A really fresh nose with green apples, limes and green papaya. Light to medium body, bright acidity and a fresh finish. Chardonnay and Pinot Noir. Drink now.
Winemaker Notes
A vibrant and approachable California Cuvée opens with a pop of tart pineapple and orange blossom on the wonderfully aromatic nose. The palate is lively and rich with layered notes of Asian pear and honeysuckle, overlaying hints of fresh mandarin peel and marzipan before a zesty, focused finish.
Blend: 61% Chardonnay, 36% Pinot Noir, 3% Pinot Meunier
