The Non-Vintage Brut Tache is a delightful well-priced sparkling wine composed of 52% Chardonnay 41% Pinot Noir and 7% Pinot Meunier. A dash of red wine liqueur is added to the finished triage wine at disgorgement to create the salmon pink color. The nose offers rose petal peach apricot and wheat thin scents leading to a sparkler with a steady persistent stream of small bubbles and red berry and nutty flavors. On the palate the wine is dry and refreshing with a long clean finish. Importer: Clos du Val Wine Co. Napa CA; www.taltarni.com.
