Tasting notes

Korbel Brut is light and crisp, with spicy fruit flavors. It is finished with a 1% dosage for a balanced medium-dry finish

Rating

Classic Korbel brut, elegant, delicate and inexpensive. Nobody does a better job at this price. The wine is dry, with subtle lime, strawberry, peach, yeast and vanilla flavors, and a finish of real elegance. Hard to believe they produced 750,000 cases. - S.H.
