Expert Ratings

Ratings   Vintage Source Flavors
WineEnthusiast - 87 Details: With lots of Pinot Noir and Gamay, this salmon-colored wine is full-bodied. It shows cherry and raspberry flavors alongside the yeast, smoke and vanilla. Dry, round and creamy, and easy to inhale. NV WineEnthusiast cherry, raspberry, smoke, vanilla
CGCW - 85 Details: With its pale pink color and an obvious bow to sweetness, this one shows clear kinship to the winery's Blanc de Noirs bottling. Clean and direct, full of bubbles and buoyed by balancing acids on the palate, it joins its cellarmates as a simple sparkler suited to unceremonious gulping. NV CGCW
CGCW - 86 Details: Glimmers of minerals and a light bit of yeast join lots of clean, juicy, young, cherryish fruit in this mildly candied and eminently gulpable wine. While it plays down the role of autolyzed yeast to a barely noticeable whisper, it is balanced and bubbly and easy to like, and it comes at a most comfortable price. NV CGCW candied, minerals

Wine Terms

Name Value
United States Wineries exist in all fifty states, but the most predominant (and best) wine comes from Northern California, Oregon, and Washington State, with New York gaining a foothold in the industry. American wines make up about 75% of all wine sales in the US. The appellation system uses the term AVA (American Viticultural Area) to determine where wines were produced, but grape varieties can be planted anywhere in the country. American wineries generally use varietal labeling, and government regulations require that the variety on the label must make up at least 75% of the blend (in Oregon it’s 90%). The words reserve, special selection, private reserve, classic, and so on have no legal definition in the US. Some wineries use these terms to indicate their better wines; others use the words as a marketing tool to move lower quality wines off the shelf.
Sparkling Wine Sparkling wines are part of a growing category of bubbly wines.
Sparkling Rose Sparking roses from the US
California Sparkling While California sparkling wines are made in the Méthode Champenoise style, many wineries call their product "sparkling wine" and some even use the Champagne designation. Most sparkling wine producers are found in cooler climates and use the same grapes, primarily pinot noir and chardonnay with some pinot meunier as their cousins from France. The most popular designation is brut, a dry style that is usually a blend; blanc de blancs indicates a wine made solely from chardonnay while a blanc de noirs is made with either Pinot variety (or a blend thereof).
California California produces the majority of wine made in the United States. Chardonnay, Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Sauvignon Blanc, Zinfandel and Pinot Noir dominate the wine production in California, but many other varietials thrive in the California climate. Many fine wines are produced in California using Mediterranean grapes.
