title: Iron Horse 2011 Brut X Sparkling (Green Valley)
description: X is for extra dry, and this is, made from 74% Pinot Noir, the remainder Chardonnay. It jumps out of the glass in an explosion of nutty, salty lemon peel, dry as a bone and rewarding in its full embrace of minerality. This sparkler begs for oysters and a skiff out to sea.
variety: Sparkling Blend
designation: Brut X
