Review: Korbel California Champagne Brut






SCORE: 83
by Brandon Wainscott



AROMA: Citrus, Apple

TASTE: The taste is rather simple but enjoyable. Mostly all that is tasted is apple but despite this simplicity the champagne/sparkling wine is enjoyable.

OVERALL:  The sparkling wine is not badly made but simple. All there really is, is apple, a cider sort of taste but with a crisp pleasantness. Given the price range it scores 83.

REVIEW:  While not fine wine it does make for a cheap buy for that pre-dinner glass when you have company or a New Years celebration when you cannot afford or do not desire to pay the price for a bottle of Dom Perignon. Not excellent by any means, but a very drinkable glass. Despite this drinkablity I have had the brand in the past and it has been better. So taking it's price into consideration I would give it an 83.

PRICE:  $13-$14 (US)

COUNTRY:  United States

REGION: California

APPELLATION: California

VINTAGE: NONE

GRAPE: Chardonnay, Chenin Blanc, French  Colombard, Pinot Noir
