2014 drunk in 2024. I kept a bottle of this $14(!!) wine—2015 price—for 8 years on a hunch that it would hold up, and it did. I don’t know what it costs now, but back then it was head and shoulders the best American supermarket wine. — 19 days ago
Cheers to top quality bubbles from the Anderson Valley of the North Coast of California!
This wine is made with a blend of Pinot Noir and Chardonnay grapes.
It’s beautifully balanced with layers of autolytic characteristics like toasted almond, pie crust, brioche, biscuit, marzipan, nougat, thanks to 5 YEARS on the lees…
It has a creamy mouthfeel maintaining freshness with notes of white peach, apple, raspberry, lemon zest, white blossom…
Mousse is fine and persistent. — 15 days ago

Made a big family dinner last Sunday night, not often we get everyone around the table with travel and sports, so kicked it up another notch with a lovely wine — 9 days ago
Don’t get the hype. Good wine. Very California, but nothing out of the ordinary. Not worth $80, worth $40 — 16 days ago
I love this bubbly! It has been a long time since I found this bubbly in my area. Creamy, complex, honeyed brioche buns, apples, minerals, lemon, just delicious for the price point! Although, this wine is up 40% from what I use to purchase @ ten years ago! — a month ago

Celebrating my baby girl’s 21st with an amazing bottle. A bit sweet to start but as it opened up it evolved through the night and was utterly amazing. The 10 is for my daughter but the wine is a solid 9.7. Decanted for an hour — a day ago
