Bright and clean, this **Brut** opens with citrus, green apple, and subtle orchard-fruit tones, with a touch of creaminess on the palate. It feels poised and lively rather than flashy, with a fine bead and enough depth to keep it interesting through the finish. In style, it sits comfortably in the lane of classic Russian River sparkling wine: polished, dry, and food-friendly. The River Road Ranch fruit should give it a little more ripeness and texture than a leaner, more austere Brut.
Serve well chilled with oysters, fried chicken, or simple goat cheese crostini.
