Domaine Jean-Marc Bernhard Cremant d'Alsace Brut Reserve NV

“A blend of 34% Merlot, 13% Petit Verdot, 35% Cabernet Sauvignon, 13% Cab Franc, and 5% Malbec. Dried violets, clove-spiced roses, and Hoisin sauce leads the senses in this ripe, alluring Bordeaux-style red. Tannins are supple and acidity is fairly high; a spotlight of bright plum, cola, and sour cherry linger with a touch of nutmeg on the finish.”

“Nicely balanced, rounded and complete, this wine offers minty, cinnamony oak spices in the aroma, generous red and black fruit in the flavors, and a smooth polish to the texture. It's delicious now, so no need for further aging.”

“This shows notes of blackberries, currants, ground spices and hints of graphite, tobacco and moist earth, following through to a medium to full body with firm but nicely ripe tannins. Smooth and juicy, with layers of fruit and a spicy finish. 35% cabernet sauvignon, 34% merlot, 13% petit verdot, 13% cabernet franc and 5% malbec. Drink or hold.”
