Freixenet NV Elyssia Pinot Noir Brut Sparkling (Cava)

Country: Spain / Elyssia Pinot Noir Brut
Variety: Sparkling Blend Catalonia
Winery: Freixenet / Cava

Smoky on the nose, but also a bit harsh, with reedy, peppery notes. The palate is soft, creamy and low on acidity, with sweet, candied red fruit flavors that have a stalky, burnt edge. Goes down easy but has some sticking points.
