This Seyval Blanc sparkling opens with notes of savory pressed apple and wood. The palate is thin in concentration, but biting lemon-lime acidity adds refreshment. The finish is animated in effervescence and pleasantly delicate in foam.

Notes of pressed apple and burnt sugar on the nose and palate of this sparkler made entirely of Seyval Blanc grapes are reminiscent of a dry, French apple cider. Juicy and full bodied with a stout frame and frothy, medium-sized bubbles. ——A.I.(2/1/2012)—— 84

Pleasantly yeasty and with fine scents of burnt toast, but also odd aromas reminiscent of roasted cashews--or maybe peanut brittle. Soft and nutty on the palate, with a short finish.——J.C.(12/1/2001)—— 83
