title: J Vineyards & Winery NV XB Sparkling (Russian River Valley)
description: A full-bodied expression of vanilla and stone fruit, with an almond base, this is made from half Chardonnay and just about half Pinot Noir, with a tiny addition of Pinot Meunier. Juicy and fresh, it'll pair well with heavier foods like crab or suffice as an apéritif, but could shine most brightly with dessert, in step on the palate with a crème brûlée.
variety: Sparkling Blend
designation: XB
