Benovia 2012 Blanc de Blancs Chardonnay (Russian River Valley)

Country: US / California
Variety: Chardonnay
Winery: Benovia / Blanc de Blancs

Made entirely from Chardonnay, this is a bright sparkling wine, bubbling in acidity and dry, leavened layers of apple and pear. A creaminess of vanilla balances the crispness, making for a successful small-production sparkler.
