This deep, coral-colored sparkling wine lets you know right up front that it is to be taken seriously. Apple-juice aromas mingle with hints of petrol, toffee and caramelized onion. Those savory notes develop further on the palate, with a rich, teriyaki-like flavor that's brightened up with apple and a hint of cranberry. At this price, you can keep a bottle of this handy to pair with any meal life throws at you, or just to enjoy on its own, to savor all of its nuances. Layla Schlack
