SCHARFFENBERGER CELLARS

93 Points Wine Enthusiast

A new offering from Scharffenberger, this Black Label wine is nicely complex and layered. It starts with aromas of meringue, lemon and butter, leading to ripe but crisp flavors of Pippin apple, Meyer lemon and grilled baguette on a medium body. Tiny bubbles and persistent flavors keep it going strong, including a lingering finish. — Jim Gordon

This is a new release for Scharffenberger, and if you like your bubbly on the aggressive side you’ve found a new friend. It is very crisp and bright, with lively tart apple, pear, unripe strawberry and a bold zesty finish. It rides right up to the “edgy” line but doesn’t go over. A wine like this can run the tables from appetizers through the main course. Contains 36% Pinot Noir, 36% Pinot Meunier and 28% Pinot Gris.]

A well-rounded, supple texture surrounds attractive toast and nut flavors in this suave and mouthfilling wine. Notes of biscuit, peach and toasted bread give it a nice sense of maturity and complexity. — Jim Gordon
