A kiss of honey leads to flavors of Gala apple and stone fruit that spread across the palate with a note of brioche. Beautifully balanced, this wine has an invigorating finish with a touch of citrus zest. The rich, earthy flavors of the black Périgord truffle is beautifully complemented by the refreshing effervescence of this superb Blanc de Blancs.___________________________________________________________APPELLATION: NAPA VALLEYALCOHOL: 12.5%PH: 3.06TA: 8.12 G/LCASES PRODUCED: 50
