Good… upon opening, this cremant is tight and elegant. Before long, there were notes of baked apple and applesauce… good- not-great — 5 days ago

Sort of overwhelming with apricot. Some citrus, maybe kumquat. It’s fine. — 18 days ago

Delish. At first blush, it seems like this will be lighter than it should be, but then a rush of raspberry and brambleberry, with dried spice and earth comes in. Lovely. Had it with steak, and I think the steak over powered it a bit. Maybe better with a cheese plate or chicken or duck… would happily drink this again. — 2 months ago

This is American recordings Oregon Chardonnay, 2021. It’s not right in the identification. This is a strange one, with the heft of a Chardonnay, but with rosé notes? Kyle described it as chalky, but I didn’t get that. It sticks to the roof of your mouth a bit, so maybe that’s what he meant.  — 17 days ago

Good - an aggressive red. Maybe we needed a different meal to support the heft? Earthy, tannic, lasting finish… — 2 months ago

Changed our minds - with pork chops and Japanese sweet potatoes, this was a dream. Black fruit, green olives, felt medium heft so not sure what was going on last week…? A dream

Yum! Bought from Bruno onsite. Kyle thinks it’s best with food, I could go with or without. Tannins are Happening. Brick, red fruit, heft. A delight. — 13 days ago

I thought this was a damn delight! Kyle didn’t like it as much. It’s oddly lightweight. Lots of black fruit on the front, and I thought, elegant.  — a month ago
