Kluge Estate 2008 Brut Blanc de Blanc Sparkling (Monticello)
- $28
Deliciously biscuity on the nose with hints of candied orange peel, this structured blanc de blanc balances a soft biscotti sweetness with delightfully high acidity and a creamy, gentle froth. Brisk, lemony finish.

Kluge Estate 2005 New World Red (Monticello)
- $20
Brooding black fruit with waves of savory spice start this wine out well. The spicy but juicy black fruit flavors are integrated and soft. The wine has depth and an elegant demeanor but fun, upfront fruit at the same time. An interesting sip for myriad beef and lamb dishes.

Kluge Estate 2008 Brut Blanc de Noir Sparkling (Monticello)
- $35
Whiffs of rising bread mingle with bright citrus notes on this full- bodied blanc de noir. Hints of sugar cookie and orange zest are balanced by bright acidity and a soft but exuberant petillance.

Kluge Estate 2008 Brut Rosé Sparkling (Monticello)
- $35
Subtle floral and berry aromas intensify on the palate with crisp cherry and raspberry flavors in this elegant, brut-style rosé sparkler. Bracing acidity and an aggressive attack give a slightly jagged mouthfeel, but its persistence and length are admirable.

Kluge Estate 2002 Brut Chardonnay (Albemarle County)
- $38
Despite its relative youth, this Virgina-made sparkler is pungently toasty on the nose, then moves into green apple and lime flavors. It does show its dosage a little, but finishes with decent flourishes of smoke, toast and citrus.

Kluge Estate 2001 Brut Albemarle County Chardonnay (Virginia)
- $38
Shows some good potential, with ginger and toast aromas that develop into meaty, soy and mushroom flavors on the palate. Creamy mouthfeel, too. Too bad there's a hint of an odd, plastic-like note to the finish.

Kluge Estate 2005 Brut Blanc de Blanc Sparkling (Monticello)
- Online Exclusive
- $27
The exuberant character of this sparkler starts with the bright aromas of apple, pear, lemon and nuts. On the palate, there are crisp notes of citrus and more toasty spice. A clean, approachable wine to pair with salads, spicy cuisine.
