Signal Ridge/Sparkling Wines/Anderson Valley

As the weather turns warmer,my thought tend to include sparkling wines more often.The warm summer evenings are made for bubbles.Let's check out some history and tasting notes as we open two great sparkling wines from Signal Ridge. In 1999, Roger Scommegna planted a small vineyard on top of Cold Spring Mountain, 9 miles inland from the Pacific Ocean, in the Mendocino Ridge appellation. Overlooking picturesque Anderson Valley at an elevation of 2,642 feet, The Signal Ridge Vineyard is the highest altitude vineyard in all of Mendocino, Sonoma and Napa counties. This challenging ridgetop terroir produces unique high end singular fruit. Signal Ridge wines are created through the teamwork, trust and cooperation connecting the Scommegna family and Anderson Valley. Winemaker Nicole Scommegna and Assistant Winemaker Stephanie Rivin employ both hard-earned expertise and good-humored trial and error to produce the perfect end product. Fruit from each vineyard is crushed, fermented and aged separately before going through blending trials to find the right recipe for each wine. SIGNAL RIDGE BRUT SPARKLING WINE WINEMAKING & TASTING NOTES SRV Brut Sparkling Wine is made in the méthode traditionnelle. A pale lemon in color, its bubbles crown the rim of each glass like a bracelet of diamonds. It offers aromas of autumn harvest, apples and bread dough rising on the hearth. Hints of apple pie and marzipan tarry alongside the crisp minerality that lingers on the palate. Delightful to sip on its own or paired with a sunset.Cheers! We will open both wines and enjoy a couple great food and wine pairings!Please join us!Cheers! we have bubbles and poured you a glass of each wine.
