Review from online: "I expected this to be awful and something that only appeals to people interested in the novelty of a wine from Snoop Dogg. I’ve tried other 19 Crimes wine but was not impressed. But Cali Gold Sparkling is light, with notes of apple, pear, and citrus. Lightly sweet but not syrupy. I really love it." -MM 1101 (https://www.totalwine.com/wine/champagne-sparkling-wine/sparkling-wine/19-crimes-cali-gold-sparking-by-snoop-dogg/p/346655750)
Wine Folly Notes: "Dry and zesty (sparkling) wines are made with non-aromatic grapes like Chardonnay and Pinot Noir. They also typically come from the coolest climate wine regions.
To be dry, they have the least amount of sweetness added during dosage and are typically labeled as Brut" (https://winefolly.com/tips/sparkling-wine-explained-dry-to-sweet/)
My review: Strong citrus, tart taste of green apple? A little sweet, but not really my style. Light on my tongue, but a little too bright for me. 4/10.
