Cavendish – 2013; Ridgeview Wine Estate; Sussex, United Kingdom

This English brut of 40% Pinot Meunier, 34% Chardonnay, 26% Pinot Noir is an excellent bubbly for your celebratory affairs and just because you deserve it days.  This sparkler has a light straw yellow color and a bit of a zesty ripe citrus aroma. One can also discern toast and lingering faint cherries on the palate. The sugars and acids balance out quite nicely for this medium bodied sparkling.  The fine bubbles are as enticing to watch as they are to sip for this lovely brut.  At 9 years, it is holding up quite nicely.  A great find and a very enjoyable sipper. We thoroughly enjoyed this delightful bottle. Cheers!
