2022 | Monte Rio Cellars River's Edge Sangiovese | Lodi Champagne Chartogne-Taillet This is a fascinating ChampagneThis wine is deep, with aromas of blackberry compote, pomegranate, clove, amber, maple, and notes of orange blossom on the nose. The flavors on the palate are lingonberry, raspberry, layered with dried chicory, orange peel, earth, and a dry silky finish. Decant and Enjoy. 94 Pts Wine Enthusiast
