“A traditional method sparkling wine made with Red Mountain fruit is not something you stumble across every day, but I'm glad I did. There are the aromas of straw, strawberries, dried rose petals and vanilla biscotti. The wine is dry, with a frothy mousse and flavors like strawberry Jell-O and a mildly biter note resembling tonic water.”
