08 Blanc de Blanc
89 Points, Robert Parker's The Wine Advocate, 2009
"CJR Reginato's 2008 Blanc de Blancs is composed of 70% Chardonnay and 30% Chenin Blanc made with the Charmat method. It exhibits an attractive nose of apple, biscuit, and yeast notes leading to a light- to medium-bodied sparkling wine with a steady stream of bubble, crisp flavors, and a refreshing finish. Drink it over the next 1-2 years."

Tasting Notes
When you think of a partying wine, you want something bubbly, light, refreshing, but certainly not boring or tiresome. The Reginatos feel the same way, so they pack lots of fresh fruit flavor onto a crisp, refreshing frame that will keep you sipping while you hang in the sun or dance the night away at your favorite club. Pear skin aromas leads to a pleasant mix of sweet, tart, and fruitiness with notes of peach pit gracing the edges.
