10 years on the lees and another 2 in bottle have done wonders for this wine. A stunning American sparkler.

Delightful. Lots of citrus flavor, less of that lees-y note than I'd hoped for. Very clean flavors and great flavor integration. Not sure I get why the score was so high though.

Okay...I’m a believer! Wow, this wine exceeded all expectations. Medium gold in the glass, just enough acidity to keep things interesting, and on the downslope for its effervescence. But the swirl of fruit flavors was intoxicating... fig, persimmon, kiwi, ripe golden pineapple and a melange of citrus. Fun!

Dec 26th, 2016Smells like a toasty crouton, smooth like Dom. Perlage is very fine, and consistent.

Very pretty on palate. Apple, strawberry and pear. Creaminess, very seductive and sensual. Excellent bubbles
