"There are more good bubblies on shelves than ever. One thing to think of, Cava from Spain. Oh my gosh! That is one of the greatest buys out there right now, generally for under $10. Good ol' Freixenet that we all grew up with...under $10, they're extremely tasty, and they are exactly the kind of bubbly you should keep in your refrigerator at all times to celebrate all sorts of wonderful things, like the fact that you got home safely."

50 WINES YOU CAN ALWAYS TRUST
"Freixenet's ultrapopular, black-bottled Cordon Negro Brut is probably the only sparkling wine in the world that's as famous as Moet & Chandon Champagne. And it's a lot less expensive but also very good. A crisp, dry sparkling wine with charming citrus notes and a touch of classic cava earthiness, it's always reliable and a pleasure to drink."
Food & Wine Magazine, April 2007

88 POINTS
"Perfumed scents of Asian pear and acacia fill this simple Cava, its waxy texture and muscular structure a match for tapas, like a classic Spanish tortilla."
Wine & Spirits, August 2006

88 POINTS - BEST BUY
"Keeps the Cordon Negro reputation healthy by delivering easygoing lemon-lime aromas and round citrus and apple flavors. As correct as one can ask for, this large-production cava features pure-fruit character and a perfectly good mouthfeel. For the money, we give it the proverbial high-five."
Wine Enthusiast, December 15, 2006

"Sparkling wine is a wonderful way to kick off any get-together. Chill it, and watch how the fresh, crisp, mouthwatering flavors put your guests in a perfect mood."
Cooking Light, September 2004

"Scents of lime and apple head toward tart, tangy lime flavors in this well-made Cava, ideal for shellfish of any kind."
Wine & Spirits, August 2004

90 POINTS
"Apple-citrus aromas, light as a breeze, lead into the clear, bright citrus flavors of this well-made Cava. It's full of tangerine, lemon and lemon pith character, with a sparkly acidity and dry vivaciousness that would accompany shellfish."
Wine & Spirits, August 2003

WINE OF THE WEEK
"This Spanish sparkling wine has a bit of the yeasty aroma some people like along with a fascinating fruit quality that's unlike Californian or French versions. Lots of effervescence and a truly tasty bubbly that's occasionally discounted to below."
Dan Berger on Wine, December 9, 2003

EXCEPTIONAL VALUE
"From the initial whiff of sweet hay and apple to its apple-lime flavors, all bounded by a measured hint of sweetness, this is a happy-go-lucky Cava to enjoy with strawberries and cream, or at any festive event."
Wine & Spirits, February 2003

"...it's just wonderful. Really casual...really festive. You can celebrate a sunset. You can celebrate a fast commute home. You can celebrate just about anything. Cheers!"

"Light and frothy, with fresh flower-shop aromas that burst from the glass. Apple, pear and citrus flavors finish with a crisp touch of ginger."

88 POINTS - BEST BUY
"One of my personal favorites among the giant collection of Freixenet cavas is this extra dry, which isn't dry in the least. Just the opposite, it's loaded with sweet apple and apricot aromas along with peach, melon and candied citrus flavors. Best of all, it maintains its poise while never falling toward cloying or sappy."
Wine Enthusiast, December 15, 2006

88 POINTS, BEST BUY
"For a well-made sparkling wine with balance, flavor and a bit of sweetness, look no further. This one features ppretty apple, lemon and yeast aromas prior to honey, melon and apple flavors. Finishes smooth and stylish, proving that a cava can be slightly sweet yet rock solid."

Tasting Panel Report by Anthony Dias Blue
The Top Ten Sparkling Wines Edition
"Extra dry means this crisp Spanish alternative to Champagne is slightly sweeter than brut."
Bon Appetit, December 2002

"Smooth, with aromas of vanilla and green apples. The palate is simple yet stately, especially given the price of this Spanish bubbly. The palate offers lemon, tarragon and some butter, while the finish is loaded with citrus peel and licorice."
Wine Enthusiast, Best of 2002 Edition

88 POINTS
"This lightly sweet style of Cava brings out fresh flavors of Meyer lemon, apple and pear. It's all about soft fruit, yet it remains
completely clean, finishing with scents of apple butter and maple sap. Break out a bottle for dessert with angel food cake."

"Consistency at a good price is what this textbook cava is all about. The bouquet offers your basic fruit-cocktail aromas, while the palate is sort of plump as it pours on the nectarine and ripe peach flavors. Easygoing, with some weight and roundness."

Wine Enthusiast, December 31, 2004

87 POINTS, BEST BUY
"This bubbly's simplicity is its calling card. It pitches sweet pear aromas along with notes of white bread. Flavors of orange, lemon and melon are just as they should be, with a touch of sweetness. Not terribly complex, but correct in a steady, mass-appeal way."
Wine Enthusiast, December 15, 2004

86 POINTS
"Shows an appealing earthy-chalky note alongside daisies and fresh ginger that gives this Cava more complexity than most others. Spicy and earthy on the finish."
Wine Enthusiast, Best of 2003 Edition - Top 100 Best Buy

87 POINTS, BEST BUY
"Chalky, lemony aromas and slightly buttery yellow plum flavors give this bargain bubbly more pop than pretty much anything else in this price range. Even the dry, lime-tinged finish sparklers. It's light and not particularly complex, but it's a steal."
Wine Enthusiast, Best of 2001 Edition

87 POINTS
"Clean flavors of apple lend this round Cava a simple goodness. It's dry, even as the finish hints at a caramel richness, a flavor and feel that would work with seared scallops."

Wine Spectator Online, February 2, 2008

86 POINTS, BEST BUY
"The sweet and waxy aromas are similar to what you might get from an aromatized candle. The palate is sugary and soda-like, with flavors of sweetened lime and apple wedges. And the finish seems a bit like 7-Up. Best for those who like a sweeter bubbly."
Wine Enthusiast, December 15, 2004

"The nose is clean, much like rainwater. The flavors, meanwhile, are anything but neutral. There's plenty of banana and sugar. If you can handle a strong hit of residual sugar, this one will work, because it does have a nice balance and feel to it."

STAR SPARKLING WINE
"This fruity cava, a blend of the Spanish grape varieties Garnacha and Monastrell, isn't wildly complex, but it's remarkably affordable and delicious."
Food & Wine, February 2008

WINES FOR THE SEASON
"Sparkling wine brimming with ripe, fruity flavors. It's fresh and approachable...Your favorite takeout. It's a natural with boldly flavored Asian food."
Better Homes & Garden, December 2006

"This rosado is sweet on the nose, with aromas of candied berries...the strawberry and cranberry fruit is fresh as a whistle. Mild pepper and spice elements add kick to the finish."
Wine Enthusiast, December 15, 2004

"This brightly colored, pink-red bubbly has some nice graham cracker and wheat bread aromas, followed by simple bread and black pepper flavors. Finishes with more peppery notes."
Wine Enthusiast, Best of 2003 Edition

"General Characteristics: peach-salmon color, easy drinking; crisp, finish. Aromas: light peach, cherry, plum, strawberry, raisin. Flavors: peach, nectarine, ripe grapefruit, date, nutty, toasty, red berry notes. Pairing: sushi."
Sante, 2003 Annual Buying Guide, January 2003

89 POINTS
"This light, bright salmon-colored wine had an active stream of steady bubbles. The panel described toasty aromas of citrus with floral notes. The medium-bodied wine had flavors of strawberry, raspberry and lemon. Bone dry and pleasant in the mouth, this sparkler finished with tastes of berry and floral notes."
Wine Report, August 2003

86 POINTS, BEST BUY
"This is a pretty, salmon-colored wine, subtly scented with spices, flower petals and hints of sour cherries and vanilla cream. The blend - 50% Garnacha and 50% Monastrell delivers welcome weight and fruit, while maintaining a relative softness. Good length and some finishing tannins make this an exceptional buy."

86 POINTS
"Very round and candied, with a ton of vanilla on the nose. It's made in the supersweet style, as if it's suppose to go with wedding cake or caramel bon bons. Yet there's enough balance to keep it on an even keel, which should make it perfect for those raised on candy-sweet wines and their kin. Certainly not to everyone's liking but not a poorly made wine by any means."
Wine Enthusiast, December 15, 2006

"...flowery and fruity on the nose... Like the name says, this wine is dosed sweet, and that sugar comes on strong on the midpalate. ...well made and upright."
Wine Enthusiast, December 15, 2004

88 POINTS
"The bubbles bring up a wash of lime candies from a glass of this charming dessert Cava; the flavor keeps the lime candy not egoing, and adds a hint of ginger. And despite the moderate sweetness, it finished crisp and refreshing. Chill it for a summer night."
Wine & Spirits, August 2004

"Light pale gold color. Fresh, aromatics on the nose of Muscat, florals and apple. Flavors of sweet, green apple fruit and clean acidity on the palate with medium body and balance. Length of Muscat on the finish. Overall, the wine is fresh, fruity and enjoyable and displays characteristics of the varietal. This wine would be good with apple bread pudding, raisin cake or fresh fits."
The Underground Wine Journal, December 2001

Brut Nature

88 POINTS
"Crisp as it should be, with fit aromas of apple, fresh lettuce and honey. The palate is crystal clear in its delivery of lemon, apple and green banana, while the finish is vivacious and runs the distance. Quite satisfying and fairly serious given its under-$15 provenance."
Wine Enthusiast, December 15, 2008

90 POINTS
"From the rich, lightly hazelnut-inflected scent of ripe apples, one would never guess this was a brut nature. Then take a sip and it's fully dry, with a vivid acidity to offset the apple fruit and underlying earthiness. Serve it with a main course of wild salmon stewed with morels."
Wine & Spirits

88 POINTS
"...Easy going and balanced, with cream soda and vanilla aromas setting up orange, tangerine and green apple flavors. Crisp and right on the palate, with flowing acidity. Solid, with a touch of green herbs."
Wine Enthusiast, June, 2006

88 POINTS
"The scent is of waxy green apples, the flavors pure and lively, full of ripe lime touched with honey. This Cava is vivaciously foamy and appealingly dry. Serve it on a summer afternoon with melon slices."
Wine & Spirits, August 2004

"...opens to display almond and flower aromas. The palate features lean peach, while the finish is expectedly tangy and lemony. A true "nature" in that it's all citrus and zest."
