Toasty aromas carry a hint of earthiness as well, then the wine turns citrusy and lemon-like through the midpalate. Finishes tangy and surprisingly lean for a blanc de noirs.

This has subtle flavors of strawberries, limes, dough and vanilla smoke. It’s a little rough in the mouth, with a scoury texture, but it’s a good buy at this price.

Rustic and rough in the mouth, but shows basic Champagne-style dryness and yeastiness, with pleasant citrus flavors. Good price for an everyday sparkler.

Kicks off with toast, mushroom and earth aromas suggestive of a well-aged blend, then delivers a smooth creamy mouthful packed with rich fruit and earth flavors. Assertive enough to pair successfully with many first courses.

A bit rough in texture, but polished in sweet vanilla, smoke, dough and subtle peach and citrus flavors. Has just enough dosage to make it finish round.

Dried peach and apple aromas open this round, even sparkler. An earthy note, and an element that seemed herbal to some tasters, leafy or green to others, shows early on and persists throughout. The bead is fine and even, and the wine is soft on the palate. A straightforward brut, but on the earthy side.

This Sonoma standby displays ripe-apple, herb and hay notes and an even bread. Moderate complexity shows on the palate with its full, soft mousse. Closes with plum and hints of tangy citrus.

Good price for a bubbly of this quality. Shows a nice spectrum of citrus, yeast and strawberry flavors that finish dry, crisp and clean, if a little rough. Drink now.

Full-bodied and rich, yet delicately structured, this bubbly shows raspberry, vanilla, smoke and bread dough flavors, and is dry. Turns rich in red berry fruit on the finish.
