Montcadi Cava - ~$7

I had high hopes for this wine, as Spanish Cavas are often terrific sparkling-wine values.  A pretty big disappointment, unfortunately.

  Like the Ogio Prosecco, this is an off-dry wine. There’s not much to accompany the sweetness, though.  Some simple green apple and a hint of grapefruit, with (though it may be a figment of my imagination) some nuttiness on the finish.  The big bubbles are more reminiscent of Mountain Dew than the méthode Champenoise.

For anyone interested in a better sweet Cava at this price point, I recommend Freixenet’s Carta Nevada NV.
