Alfredo Roca, Cuvee Especial Brut Nature, By Bodega Alfredo Roca, USD 13
A white blend (blanc de blancs) 60% chardonnay and 40% chenin from San Rafael Valley South Mendoza.
A nice sparkling without the magic Pinot Noir brings to any sparkling. Ripe peach and apple with a delicate roundness. But lacks the bone and balance bitter/cherries of a prime time Champagne style sparkling. An 85 points sparkling I won´t buy twice, as any that doesn´t follow the equilibrium settled down by the northern France tradition . We may live peacefully if you dont´t agree.
