An excellent value, the 2000 Brut unveils beautiful aromas of sweet toast, yeast, and vanilla beans. A full-flavored, satin-textured sparkling wine, it offers a highly expressive flavor profile composed of toast, candied citrus fruits, and tangy minerals. Drink it over the next 3 years. It is heartening to see that Mark Vlossak, St.-Innocent’s winemaker and co-owner, has maintained reasonable prices even after having received considerable praise for his wines over the years.www.stinnocentwine.com; tel.
