Yellow Tail Bubbles

Appearance: Bright pale yellow with rather large bubbles that seem to cling to the sides of the glass without moving. They are just there.

Nose: The wine is clean with aromas of pineapple, apple, tropical fruits and a hint of honey.

Palate: Off-dry (slightly sweet) full-bodied with mouth-watering acidity. The flavors are similar to the nose. There is a tingle on the tongue from the effervescence.

Finish/Length: The finish is clean with a little stickiness and sugary. The length is medium(++) with the candy-like stickiness remaining n the palate. It is like a tropical fruit "Lifesaver" candy.

Conclusions: This wine at US$10.00 is wonderful for those people who want sweetness. The size and nature of the bubbles seem to indicate that they will not last for any length of time, dissipating rapidly. I would pair with apple cobbler, or some other fruit dessert. This definitely does not have anything close to a "brut" or "extra-dry" character of a sparkling wine. If it was me, I would rather purchase a Moscato D'Asti or some other dessert wine. But to each there own.

Producer Tasting Note: [yellow tail] Bubbles is delightfully fresh, fruity and soft with great palate length. Flavors of tropical fruits are perfectly combined with medium sweetness and a delightful crisp finish.
