*Disclaimer: I received this wine as a sample from the PR folks for the winery.
While I tend to drink bubbles all year, many folks seem to associate sparkling wines with the holiday season. Around this time I go hunting for new sparklers to entice and delight. Tonight I went fishing (mixing my outdoorsy metaphors here) in the basement and came back out with the Segura Viudas Cava Brut Reserva Heredad. The wine has a traditional Champagne closure, clocks in at 12% alcohol by volume, and retails for around $26. I’m saving the bottle to do something yet to be determined with because it’s a really cool bottle.
1.) The wine had a really refined and small bubbles, something I don’t normally associate with a Cava.
2.) If you are looking to make a splash with a really different looking bottle, this one is sure to impress.
3.) I thought the Heredad was really well done, but the price is a little steep.
4.) I was really taken with the long finish and toast on the wine.
On the nose I got toast, apple, and lemon rind. In the mouth I found lemon, bitters, toast, apple, and pear. The finish on the wine lingered and the fine bubbles and acidity kept the wine refreshing and light.

That bottle is really cool! Was it worth it?
I don’t find it so expensive, it looks like a really good cava.
