EAST COAST PALATE

So after my first sabrage I still needed to evaluate the wine.  I'm not sure if the manner in which I opened the bottle affected the wine's effervescence, but this bubbly has very sparse sparkling action.  It could almost pass for a still white wine.
This Cava has some nice aromas of apple, lemon and pear.  But there is an off burnt smell lurking beneath the yeasty aromas.  This comes through in the taste as a slightly bitter flavor.  It still has some toasty components, and a little lemon zest and peach fuzz flavors that I enjoy.  For me it is an 84 point, B Cava, but it will always be a good inexpensive bubbly... perfect for making mimosas or bellinis.  This is a good bottle to start a meal during the middle of the week, or to start brunch on the weekend.
