Cruse Wine Co., Ricci Vineyard Sparkling St. Laurent Pétillant Naturel, California, USA 2015

A deeper pink hue and more savoury aromas of wild berries, cherry and spice are the prelude to a wine with similar cut and energy, with a crisp, dry, slightly phenolic finish that wets the appetite. A seriously drinkable, food-friendly sparkling wine at a sensible price.
