The Non-Vintage Brut Reserva uses 25% Chardonnay in the blend along with the traditional varieties and spent 15 months on lees. It displays an expressive nose of mineral, brioche, and flowers leading to a wine with good volume, savory flavors, and moderate length. Drink both of these Cavas over the next 12-18 months. Albet I Noya farms organically.Importer: Opici Wines, Glen Rock, NJ; tel. (201) 689-3256

A little maderized and heavy at first, with soda and vanilla on the nose. The palate is reserved, not aggressive, with dried papaya, grapefruit and soda-like flavors. Finishes almost tropical in flavors, with balancing bitter pith. Good but shy Cava made from 25% Chardonnay and the usual grapes.——M.S.(11/1/2010)—— 87
