One of my favorite CA sparkling producers has paired up with Carlos Santana for
a series of limited release wines.
I tasted all three during my visit in July.
This wine is aged 48 months in the lees before disgorging.
What this means is, the wine is not transferred to another container (racking) but rather bottled directly from the lees. I find that this results in a fresh and almost creamy flavor.
The aging brings out subtle tones of vanilla and hazelnut.
This wine is perfect on its own, the aging potential according to the winery is 5-10 years.
60% pinot noir and 40% chardonnay.
$ 50.00 per bottle, Carlos Santana is donating ALL proceeds to
the milagro foundation.
The milagro foundation helps poor children around the world, primarily Mexico.
A must for any sparkling lover, almost sold out and available only through MUMMS website.
