Racines Grand Reserve Sparkling Wine

STA. Rita Hills Chardonnay. This is heady stuff with an aroma set of cream, white fleshed stone fruits, citrus, and a delicate minerality. The palate is just shy of moderate in weight with clay, citrus, mace, and a delicate just there nectarine note. This is a singular delicious California Sparkling. D&M Tasting Notes
