Iron Horse 2006 Brut X Sparkling (Green Valley)

Country: US / Brut X
Variety: Sparkling Blend California
Winery: Iron Horse / Green Valley

This is one of Iron Horse’s drier wines, with a low dosage, but it’s still fairly sweet. There’s a coating of sugar on the raspberries, oranges and limes. The bubbles are a bit scoury now, but this Pinot Noir and Chardonnay blend could develop nuances in the cellar after, say, 2013.
