Her simply named J Vineyards and Winery makes fine bottles of bubbly using traditional Champagne varietals and winemaking techniques. The 2007 J Vintage Brut was aged on the lees for more than five years, giving it a soft, creamy mouthfeel. On the nose, it displays an intriguing mix of coconut, brioche, Meyer lemon and tangerine. This full-bodied sparkling wine shows an excellent balance of fruit, acidity and fine bubbles. Food Pairings: Lemon and olive crostini, fresh fish, crab cakes For more information, visit GAYOT’s J Vineyards & Winery profile Other sparkling wines we have tasted Check out GAYOT’s 72 Hours in Sonoma County Travel Guide wine.com Related Content: Top 10 American Sparkling Wines Wine and Food Pairing Wine of the Week Reviews New Releases
