9.1

Earthy, fruity, nice acidity that cut well through butter basted (valentine's day) rib eye. Light on the tongue, smooth, nice medium body and richness. Paired beautifully but stands equally well by itself. A really lovely wine, maybe one of my favorite reds. — 8 years ago

9.4

Juicy, dark fruit. Smooth, luscious, rich. A bit salty in the way a few flakes on top of a chocolate chip cookie make everything pop. Nice body, great finish. All day everyday if it was a bit less expensive. Will definitely hold on to a few bottles for special occasions with the Mrs. — 8 years ago

8.7

Berry berry juice, mid acid, a bit of tannin, a surprising bit of effervesence but only when you think about it. A bit darker (color and taste) than a lot of the gamays we've been drinking. Juicy. Lovely. Drinkable. Will buy again. — 8 years ago

8.6

Honey, apricot, bold, bright, abrasive, harsh. A bit boozier on the palate than I may prefer (14.5%) but nevertheless, delicious. Sweet on the nose, pear juice, succulent. Acidic. Great. — 8 years ago

I love this stuff. Wasn't expecting much due to the gimmicky (but awesome) packaging but it delivers. Clean, crisp, delicious. Doesn't overreach, not overally mineral, just delicious, drinkable, poundable. Perfect for anytime with anyone. — 8 years ago

Almost cider like. Gorgeous color and cloudiness. A bit yeasty and dry. Natural, fresh. Somewhat uninspiring but I say that a lot and this was delicious nevertheless. Would drink again. — 8 years ago

Elegant, fine bubbles. Strawberry, blood orange. Balanced, sophisticated. Easily one of my favorite bottles of bubbles. Slight funk, gorgeous color. Dry. Refreshing. Lovely. — 8 years ago

8.3

Yeasty, toasty, dry. Balanced, elegant, but a bit lacking in character. I think I'm starting to get a bit jaded by funk. Still, unobjectively this is a good glass of bubbles. — 8 years ago
