Wine Review: This clear and white platinum colored Sparkling Wine from Roederer Estate opens with several random streams of tiny and small bubbles. It features a pear and jasmine bouquet with hints of orange scone, red apple, and ginger. On the palate, this wine is medium plus bodied with integrated medium plus acidity. The mouthfeel is nicely balanced and round with a mouthcoating mousse. The flavor profile is a stony minerality and ginger blend with notes of dough and saline. We also detected hints of lemon pith, apricot, and tart red apple. The finish is dry, and its flavors and acidity drift away nicely. We would pair this sparkling wine with broiled scallops. Enjoy - KWGTP

Winemaker Notes: The 2022 vintage of Clark Road, which went through malolactic fermentation, features aromas of grilled peaches and light pastry crust. The texture is creamy in this Pinot Noir-driven wine, and while 19% of this wine saw oak, it has a seamless structure.
