Best Sparkling Wine Rated 90+ Points For Every Budget

"An off-dry prosecco with lemon and candied-apple aromas and flavors. Full-bodied, bubbly and flavorful. Round and delicious. Fruit-forward style."

"Aromas of wild flowers, wisteria and a hint of peach lead the way on this creamy sparkler. The rich, vibrant palate doles out white peach, yellow pear and green apple framed in bright acidity and a frothy mousse. A note of candied nectarine zest signals the close."

"A fruity, firm prosecco with sliced dried lemons and almonds. Full-bodied but structured and tight, giving this sparkling wine a crispness and brightness on the palate."

"The later disgorging of this wine made from 67% Pinot Noir and 33% Chardonnay has given it a complexity of texture and flavor that's compelling, an older golden-apple and dried apricot sensibility that's intriguing on the nose and palate. Sizzling acidity makes for a crisp, dry wine, with lengthy finish."

"This balanced Champagne is ripe and juicy, with crème de cassis and Honeycrisp apple fruit flavors accented by details of honey, smoke and biscuit. A fresh and creamy aperitif. Drink now through 2018."

"Bright pale salmon-pink. Flowers, almond paste and strawberry on the nose. Bright and dense, displaying a juicy, peppery quality to the red berry and botanical herb flavors. The long finish features lingering juiciness and a floral note. Sneaky concentration here, and building complexity with aeration. Really lovely Rosé bubbly; made with certified organic grapes."

"Granny Smith apple, toasted almond, currant and whole-grain toast flavors are fresh and well-meshed, structured by bright acidity and a lively bead. Offers a creamy finish, with hints of smoke and honeycomb."

"Light gold. Powerful raspberry and tangerine aromas are complicated by gingery spices and fresh flowers, with a suave overlay of chalky minerality. Creamy red berry and orchard fruit flavors show very good depth and are braced by zesty acidity. A weighty but lively Champagne with a long, spicy finish that repeats the floral note."

"This rosé is a light garnet color, with expressive flavors of mulled cherry, mandarin orange peel and smoke, with an aromatic hint of herb riding the satiny mousse. Offers a firm, well-spiced finish. Enjoy this with food, perhaps duck breast. Drink now through 2021."

"The NV Extra Brut Blanc de Blancs Latitude is a big, vinous wine. Bold, ample and large on the palate, the Latitude exudes power. Dried apricot, roasted nuts and spices are pushed forward in a rich, creamy wine that reflects the personality of these clay-rich soils on the southern edge of Vertus. With time in the glass, the Latitude gains freshness, volume and intensity. The current release is 60% 2013, with 40% reserve wines. Dosage is 4 grams per liter. Disgorged: January 2016."

"Dark pink.  Powerful scents of redcurrant, blood orange and toasty lees, with a sexy floral overtone.  Pliant red fruit and citrus flavors pack a serious punch and show unlikely vivacity, with a slow-building smoky quality adding seriousness.  Finishes with solid grip and echoes of red fruit and smoky minerality."

"Tightly knit and racy, this is mouthwatering and harmonious, showing flavors of black currant, smoked almond, candied lemon zest, honey and chalk. Vibrant and hard to stop sipping, with a firm, smoky finish. Disgorged November 2014. 750 cases made."

"Pale gold. Candied lemon, lime pith and white flowers on the fragrant nose, with deeper orange and buttered toast qualities emerging with air. Juicy flavors of pear and Meyer lemon show impressive depth and cut, with a gingery nuance adding energy. Bright, focused and mineral-driven on the clinging finish, which leaves behind notes of honeysuckle and brioche."

"Lightly floral on the nose, with hints of lavender and verbena, and spicy on the palate, offering ground clove and anise accents to the flavors of pastry dough, wild cherry, golden raisin, grated coconut and fleur de sel. Harmonious and elegant throughout, presenting a long, mouthwatering finish."

"An elegant rosé, with flavors of dried cherry, oyster shell, candied ginger and orange peel riding the delicate mousse. Shows fine integration of the sleek acidity and smoky minerality. Drink now through 2021. 9,000 cases imported."

"A lovely rose in an almost vinous style, with mouthwatering acidity and a fine, lacy mousse carrying appealing flavors of ripe raspberry, white cherry fruit, star anise, mandarin orange peel and honeysuckle. Lightly chalky on the lasting finish. Enjoy with food. Drink now through 2020."
