The 2021 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.
“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.”
2021 Vintage – “Shows finesse and a handsome structure, with multilayered pear and strawberry flavors highlighted by fresh ginger, blanched almond and yeast roll notes that linger on the crisp finish. Pinot Noir and Chardonnay. Drink now. 94 points.”

TASTING NOTES
Glinting gold in the glass, the 2021 Classic Vintage Brut sparkles with refined, enduring bubbles that speak to its craftsmanship. The nose is vibrant and graceful, unfolding with notes of crisp orchard fruit, delicate floral tones, and a whisper of toasted pastry. On the palate, layers of baked apple emerge, balanced by a lift of bright acidity and a subtle, creamy texture. The finish is long and graceful, with floral elegance that lingers, leaving a lasting impression of purity and poise.
