The 2019 Classic Vintage Brut is considered the “flagship” of the Iron Horse bubblies. It shows everything the family strives to accomplish, striking memory bells that say “champagne” in quality and finesse, but with flavors that are unmistakably Sonoma County, Russian River, Green Valley and most distinctly Iron Horse. Awarded 94 points in Wine Spectator.
“If you ever want to prove that the U.S. does Sparkling Wine as well as any country in the world, this is the wine you want to offer.”
“Subtle, complex and elegant, this refined wine offers an intricate array of crisp lemons and limes against light toast and bread dough accents. Most of all, a vibrant yet polished texture makes it a pleasure to sip. 94 points, Editors’ Choice.”
“Crisp yet luscious, with tantalizing hazelnut brioche, nectarine, lemon custard and spice flavors that build richness on the finish. Drink now through 2026. 94 points.” – Tim Fish
“Ranked #55 in the Top 100 Wines of 2023.”
TASTING NOTES
Beautiful gold straw color with fine, persistent bubbles. The Classic Vintage Brut has aromas of green apple, honeysuckle, and a hint of fresh brioche. The inviting nose leads to flavors of baked apple on the front palate, with honeysuckle really shining through on the finish. This wine has bright acidity, a touch of creaminess, and a delicious long, lingering finish.

Squash blossoms have a short but beautiful season and this dish honors their delicacy and unique flavor. You can embellish with your favorite quesadilla additions. Delicious with summer quencher Tin Pony Chardonnay.
