Note: I publish batches of reviews that I call Good Values Wine Picks. These are from the regular section of the liquor store rather than the Vintages section, and tend to be lower priced and the most widely available of all wines. The last four reviews I did were: March 7, January 4, December 16 and November 20.

Tasting note:

Deep and toasty with delicious notes of ripe pears. Creamy layers of flavor and zippy finish make this bubbly perfect for a cocktail party.

Opinions about wine differ greatly as the experience is subjective. You may find it helpful to compare this critical evaluation of the wine with mine as well as your own:

Carla rated this wine as 88/100 with the following review: Truly delightful bubbles. Crisp and a little fruity with hints of vanilla. Finish has a nutty essence. I enjoyed it with prime rib, but had a second glass for "dessert."

Travis Oke rated this wine as 86/100 with the following review: While the black bottle may lead you to believe it's a second rate cava don't judge this wine by the bottle. My brother lives in Spain - this is know as one of "the good ones". Tiny bubbles at a great price.
