J Vineyards & Winery Vintage Brut Russian River Valley

Oh, this was my last bottle of good J bubbly from when I'd been in the wine club. Delightful as always, but can be a little pricey and I've been finding so many other interesting and nice bubbly for less.

This was very nice, as always, little bubbles nice and tart. But I will say that having just opened Alexandre Le Brun "Cuvée Fascination" Blanc de Blancs Extra Brut Champagne (2015). I would drink Fascnination all day long. It's $70. J would be $45 for a 2016 and $82 for a late disgorged 2015. I don't remember what I paid for the 2013 (club shipment). But they are all good.

bright and crisp. some green apple.

Soft apple flavors and light brioche
