Tasting - Coastal Vines Brut

Name: Coastal Vines Brut
Variety: Sparkling Wine
Region: California
Country: United States
Year: ?
Price: $6.95

Winery Review:  Coastal Vines Sparkling Wine is a light colored wine with aromas of apple and citrus. On the palate there are flavors of melon and pear. The finish is crisp and clean. Pair with cheeses, like brie, for appetizers; grilled garlic shrimp over a bed of pasta; or with a light white cake for dessert.

My review:  This wine was excellent.  I was the last person to taste this wine from the bottle so my first impression was not  the best, because most of the bubbles were gone.  This ended up being a good thing because it allowed me to have a second tasting from a fresh bottle.  On the nose the wine was very citrusy with a hint of pear.  My second tasting had a good amount of carbonation.  The taste was slightly sour with a bitter after taste.  It tasted just like regular wine grapes.  I would recommend this wine, it is a good value for the price.  I would buy this wine if had had a special event to celebrate with my fiancee Mariah.

I tasted this on its own with no food.
