Now that I have had their Brut Excellence, I am not experiencing the brut, which is a combination of 50% Chenin Blanc, 15% Chardonnay and 15% Cabernet Franc.  When opening this wine, I immediately get the aroma of green apples.  Bubbles are aplenty, but aren't fine, which telles you that the secondary fermentation is of a lower quality, though it is done in the bottle; the traditional method.  I get more toast out of the taste and very little other flavor.

Our Mission: The Black Winer strives to expose African Americans [and others] to wines, without the flair, stuffiness, and airs of elitism and snobbery that you get from sommeliers and high level wine enthusiasts. We believe in finding something that you like the taste of, outside of the basic brands that you have been force-fed over the years through a combination of ethnically targeted advertising, and what people in your family have historically been drinking.
