| 75 | | | 90 | JaneGarvey | Atlanta | Georgia | USA | Iron Horse is practically synonymous with American sparkling wine, certainly more so than any other winery. Its Russian Cuvée crafted especially for the Reagan-Gorbachev summit is a bit sweeter and creamier in texture than this one. Grape types: Pinot Noir (68%) and Chardonnay (32%). Full-bodied and dry, with a pale gold color, the wine offers positively heady red cherry/apple aromas, while the palate presents tangy lemon and Fuji or Braeburn apple characters that precede a long, crisp, clean finish. Aged three years on the yeast lees, the wine shows a lovely creaminess and complexity. Foods: Winery says comfort foods, and I agree: French onion dip and lightly salted potato chips; classic mac ‘n’ cheese; fries and aioli; deep-fried catfish (or other seafood) with tartar sauce; lightly salted pistachios; oysters (raw or cornmeal fried) with lemon; creamy soups; deviled crab; chicken pie.
