Good on the nose, with solid raspberry and nectarine aromas. The palate is spunky and alert, with juicy red-cherry, rhubarb and integrated spice flavors. It’s mostly a clean, basic, easy-to-drink bubbly, but it’s persistent, harmonious and commendable. Pinot Noir with Trepat is the grape mix. ——M.S.(12/15/2010)—— 87
