(Tasted Sept. 2015) … I’m always thrilled to see another bubbly on the market, especially when there is quality under the cork. 53% Pinot Noir / 47% Chardonnay and all from the 2012 vintage – but because the program is just beginning the College has decided to leave the year off the label to allow possible back blending in future vintages. Refreshing and crisp with apple, lemon zest, crusty bread and the right amount of acidity to keep everything in … balance. There’s also a little wave of minerality that creeps in on this 2 years on lees traditional method sparkler. At this price it’s one you can afford to keep on hand for any occasion.  Price: $22.95 – Rating: *** ½+
