About the wine
Ritzy Brut sparkling from a bubbly icon
- This Brut sparkling buzzes with fresh golden apple and pear, balanced with a light, tart layer of citrus, while just a touch of barrel-aging gives this bubbly the kind of toasty, elegant character you'd find in top-shelf Champagne.
- Angel funding helped Rob go all out on this sparkling Brut, blending nearly equal parts Pinot Noir and Chardonnay from Russian River Valley, Sonoma’s prestige subregion for these classic sparkling varieties.
- When one of the most celebrated winemakers in the sparkling wine capital of America crafts less than 700 cases of an exclusive Brut with primo Russian River Valley, you don’t walk – you run!
Best before
A well-made sparkling wine like this can age for many years in a well-controlled cool environment.
Serving advice
Never point the cork at anybody while opening. Once the wire hood is unwound, always keep your hand on the cork.
If the cork breaks during opening, never use a corkscrew as this may cause the bottle to explode.
Saber opening at your own risk. Safety glasses are a must.
Food match
Halibut is my go-to pairing with this Brut sparkling.

Wine profile
Meet the winemaker - Rob McNeill
Rob’s had a hand in Napa’s sparkling wine game since its infancy, getting his boots wet at Chappellet and Schramsberg and later leading teams for Scharffenberger, Piper-Sonoma and Mumm. That's quite the pedigree!
Thanks to you, this seasoned sparkling professional has a new mission – to make elegant, esteemed bubbly more accessible to all!
He's rubbed elbows with rock stars, made championship bubbly for the major leagues and raked in 90-point scores as a critic darling – but 35 years into this business, this is the first time Rob's making sparkling under his own personal label. That’s all thanks to supporters like you.
