title: Brewer-Clifton 2012 3-D Sparkling Chardonnay (Sta. Rita Hills)
description: This esteemed winery's annual bubbly is crafted much like its still Chardonnays, showing focused aromas of chalk, lemon zest and a telltale brie cheese rind dairy element. It's very yeasty and slightly sour on the mouthwateringly sharp palate, with squeezed limes, lemon pith and underripe kumquat flavors.
variety: Chardonnay
designation: 3-D Sparkling
