The Big Bang Sparkling Blanc de Noirs is their only sparkling, though they have a selection of reds, whites and dessert wines available to order.
Tasting Note by Evan Saviolidis – Score 90
“If you enjoy mature elements in your bubbly, this wine will fall smack-dab in your wheelhouse. Yeast, caramel, bruised apple, honey, dried flowers and caramel flow out of the glass. Crisp with creamy bubbles. Long lasting.”
