There’s a pleasing nose here with some toast and mineral notes. A dry palate follows with lime, herb and mushroom flavors, and the mouthfeel is light and positive. More of the same follows on the finish, with a tasty biscuit note. It’s a solid, straightforward sparkler with a refreshing lack of pretense. Kosher, too. ——W.E.(12/31/2000)—— 86
