Ultramarine Blanc de Blancs Keefer Ranch Vineyard Sonoma Coast 2019
Sonoma / California // US
A stunner. Bright and focused, with tremendous depth, the 2019 is so expressive. Citrus peel, mint, white pepper and crushed rocks all race across the palate. Vivid and expressive, especially in the way it marries tension and texture. Age-worth collectible.
Ultramarine sits at the forefront of sparkling wine produced in the United States. Michael Cruse sources fruit from the top sites in Sonoma County for a range of single-vineyard, single-vintage, single-variety sparkling wines that present a distinctly Californian version of artisan grower Champagnes that are made with a similar spirit.
The wines are fermented in barrel, aged on their lees for a few years and bottled with no dosage. The finest Ultramarine wines are defined by extraordinary precision and electric tension, qualities these wines have in spades.
