Maria Casanovas Cava Brut Nature Pinot Noir 2006

91 (I-WR) 90 (RP)

91	International Wine Review	This vintage brut nature made from 95% Pinot Noir is a sparkling deep pink wine showing considerable complexity of lees, herbs, and ripe red fruit on a dry, creamy palate. It is a wine of considerable richness and substance that would pair well with roast salmon, fowl, and pork. The bottle we tasted was disgorged September 2008 and showed its age.
90	The Wine Advocate	As the label indicates, the 2006 Pinot Noir Cava Brut Nature received no dosage. Medium pink in color, it sports an alluring raspberry and strawberry perfume. This is followed by a dry sparkling wine with excellent concentration, ripe flavors, and excellent length. It would make a first-class match with Jamon Iberico.
