J Vineyard Brut Cuvee 20 Russian River Valley

91 pts – Wine Enthusiast

Broadly defined in honeysuckle, peach, brioche and moderate acidity, this is a crowd-pleasing and immensely likable sparkling wine. The finish lingers on a deep, nutty tone.

90 pts – Wine Spectator

Steely and vibrant, with expressive lemon, lime and mint flavors that pick-up speed toward a snappy finish. Drink now.

 

Our J Cuvée 20 Brut opens with nuanced aromas of toasted almond, followed by notes of Braeburn apple, dried cranberry and ginger snap. A delicate dance of bubbles leads to a soft palate with flavors of lemon meringue pie, as the wine’s creaminess is whisked away by a lively finish.

Winemaker Notes

 J Cuvée 20 Brut opens with nuanced aromas of fresh sourdough bread, green apple, tangerine and almond. A dance of bubbles leads to a focused palate that delicately balances sweet and tart notes of raspberry, cherry, wild strawberry and lemon rind, whisked away by a crisp and lively finish. Pair this versatile sparkler with Asian shrimp dumplings with yuzu glaze or Stilton cheese with toasted hazelnuts.

Blend: 51% Chardonnay, 41% Pinot Noir, 8% Pinot Meunier.
