Freixenet - Cava
Freixenet is one of the most renowned and largest cava houses in Spain, similar in quality, size and importance to France's Moet & Chandon. Since 1861, Freixenet's cavas have been made in the classic méthode champenoise tradition, a difficult and lengthy process, but worth the effort to produce those beautiful tiny bubbles.

Smells like a bowl of black cherries and black berries powdered with vanilla sugar and piled onto a lightly toasted slice of brioche. This is all about strawberry and black raspberry fruit in the mouth. While it lacks the complexity of the Gran Cuvee i...

August 2017
What comes to mind when I say Cava? Perhaps your initial thoughts are inexpensive and great for mimosas or other sparkling cocktails. Cava has suffered a bit of an identity crisis. Though sales are strong, consumers are often buying it as a base for a sparkling mixer, selecting the first Cava on the shelf or the one with the prettiest bottle. Ho... Read More

New numbers released by The U.S. Wine Market: Impact Databank Review and Forecast reveal that the United States wine market grew a modest 0.3 percent in 2014, but that a rise in the popularity of sparkling wine helped steady an otherwise lukewarm year. “The report said that the sparkling wine segment drove what growth there was, with an estimate...

While the Catalan product is facing stiff competition from Prosecco, its Italian counterpart, the sparkler continues to be popular in the United States and the European Union.

Being a huge fan of the Rex Cab (as a "great-value, lots-of-bang-for-your-buck" wine) and mildly fond of their Merlot and Pinot Noir, I was hoping that their Sauvignon Blanc would be of comparable quality ... but all I can say is, "Bleah." Harsh, burning, and nearly flavorless, with next to nothing in the bouquet -- not at all like the Rex reds.... Read More

Semi-Dry Cava Carta Nevada 1999
Snoothrank:
Pineapple and spice greet the nose along with a just a hint of a yeasty underlay. Round and smooth on entry, with a fairly sweet flavor profile that recalls peach syrup and honeycomb with a hint of chalky mint underneath. Theres plenty of balancing acidity here, but the wine does remain sweet and simple on the fruit driven, ripe pineapple-laden ... Read More

Freixenet Carta Nevada Brut Spain Cataluna Cava 1987
Snoothrank:
Earthy apple core, floral and dried citrus aromas with a hint of caramel. Mousse is a little coarse but this does show off fairly rich, apple and sweet citrus flavors in a fruity style that takes advantage of the residual sugar to create a smooth mouthfeel without being obviously sweet, though the sugar lingers a bit on the finish. 85pts Read More
