Crushed coral nose with lemon curd and caramel apple. Surprisingly fresh on the palate with good concentration, lots of poise and a throbbing acidity. Buttery finish that lingers and lingers. This reminds me why I love Chablis and french wine in general. An absolutely great value. Beg borrow and steal to get some. — 4 years ago
Amazingly light pale pink coral color with tiny little bubbles that go on and on. Bright citrus fruits and freshly baked bread up front on the nose with floral notes on the back end. I’ll never get over the price of this bottle. It’s so clearly head and shoulders above other domestic sparkling wines it’s crazy. This is decidedly Californian with a touched of added sweetness and just a hint of almonds unlike the French counterparts with more pronounced nuttiness. Plenty of strawberry, black cherry, and raspberry fruit on the palate combining with toast and cream. A fabulous little sparkler. — 6 years ago

Light colored almost coral like. The grip , length, depth and layers. Tanins are still young and clearly this wine still has many years of youth. Not even bowing its age. It’s so subtle and non agressive you could mistaken it for being a lesser wine but you see the power and longevity will reward it with depth and complexity. Not showing its potential yet but nonetheless a monument to Barolo. — 5 years ago
Just amazing! Love all his wines. Had it with a lightly breaded pork chop and Shannon Salad at Frenchies. Moving out of Coral Gables — 2 years ago
