Scharffenberger Cellars/Tex Sawyer/Anderson Valley Sparkling Wines

We have one more great feature with Scharffenberger Cellars and Tex Sawyer. We have some tasting notes,let's check out the tasting notes and then join Tex Sawyer,and pour a glass of each of these great sparkling wines.Scharffenberger Brut Excellence is made by the traditional methode champenoise process, whereby the wines are individually bottle-fermented before being riddled and disgorged. Scharffenberger Brut Excellence is made from its own 120-acre vineyards in the Anderson Valley. In addition, Scharffenberger Cellars has long-term contracts with select vineyards in the greater Mendocino County. With this type of vineyard selection, it allows us to produce our trademark cuvée. The wine is approximately two-thirds Chardonnay and one-third Pinot Noir. The full malolactic style adds a vanilla cream character producing a round and full-bodied wine. After approximately two years on the lees, there are notes of freshly baked bread and pastry that enhances the more fruit forward style of the wine. Finally, after several months on the cork, the wine develops caramel and hazel complexors.Scharffenberger Brut rose has become a favorite of mine.These are all very special sparkling wines,and it's time to join Tex Sawyer and enjoy the beauty of a spring day in Anderson Valley and a glass of the bubbles.This will take us into the weekend!Cheers!Click here and raise your glass,after we fill it,Cheers!.
