Lucas & Lewellen 2012 Brut Sparkling (Santa Barbara County)
The faintest hint of pink, this 80% Pinot Noir and 20% Chardonnay sparkler shows bright nectarine, lime blossoms, wet stone and yeast on the nose. It's tight and bright on the crisp palate, with lime skin, sour yeast and stony green-apple flavors. Matt Kettmann
