My last bottle of this. It’s really good in a fuller style Oregon Pinot. Complex nose has gravelly loam, sandalwood notes, sappy cherry ooze, crushed rock, a little autumn baking spice. Full and broad in the mouth, but the flavors exhibit a nice balance of fruit, mineral, and underbrush notes. Medium acids, and a little very fine-grained tannin makes an appearance in the back half of the finish. Very nice — 7 days ago

At Flying Goat, the goal is to produce unpretentious, playful wines while retaining a serious quality focus and commitment to a purity of expression from single-vineyard sites such as the Solomon Hills Vineyard, Bien Nacido Vineyard, Rancho Santa Rosa, to name a few.

This intention is reinforced by everything from the whimsical labels (Flying Goat, Goat Bubbles, YNOT), to the critical acclaim Flying Goat Cellars has garnered for its impressive wines, to the impeccably balanced and delicious Pinot Noir and vintage, traditional method sparkling wines.

This 2016 blanc de noirs sparkler — made with Pinot Noir hailing from the Bien Nacido Vineyard — is medium gold in appearance, with a fine and creamy mousse, and fresh notes of just-ripe yellow apple, pear, white peach, lemon zest, citrus blossom, biscuit, toast, brioche, toasted almond, and marzipan. It has a lingering, elegant finish.

Color is tawny red with some signs of bricking. A savory rich nose: initial cherry and subtle Cayuse funk with some bacon, gravely rock, and floating notes of sweet florals. The taste just jumps from the glass - a soft juicy mixture of black cherry-plum fruit, stewed meat and minerals, tobacco and a raspberry pencil lead medium plus finish. Tannins smooth, but could still use some aging. The Flying Pig is a first and lives up to the Cayuse brand. A lucky find! — 4 years ago

This how really smoothed out with age and I really like it now. The acidity before I think was over powering. Delightful. — 7 months ago
