Dealcoholized Wine Premium Sparkling White Blend
Bright beige gold with fine persistent bubbles. Enticing aroma of green apple and honey. Medium palate yield green apple, grape skin, and a strong floral note mid-palate to finish. Good balance between fruitiness and seemingly natural acidity. Short but tight finish. One of the best dealcoholized sparklers I’ve had. Cruse has managed to maintain flavor without over sweetening and to keep it bright without that fake citric acid taste. Excellent for those cutting down on alcohol and those who celebrate with them. Drink now. — 2 years ago

Monkey Jacket North Coast Red Blend 2022
Middle of the road body. Nose is tart raspberry and roasted plum. Palette is macerated strawberry with a hint of basil. Crowd pleaser. Could cocktail or pair with food very easily. — 3 months ago

Rancho Chimiles Vineyard Pétillant Naturel Valdiguié
Pretty much a perfect pet nat.
Light salmon pink hue
Aromas of dried roses, strawberries, and watermelon that also come through in the palate — with yeasty, earthy effervescence.

Château d'Issan
Margaux Cabernet Sauvignon - Merlot Blend 2012
I know that 2012 wasn’t a perfect year but this still underperformed. Have a lot of nostalgia for D’Issan after Emmanuel Cruse (the proprietor) oversaw the Bordeaux tasting competition where my wife and I met. Very little fruit on the mid palate. Bit thin on the finish. Definitely left bank - the nose is very nice. Good pairing with beef tenderloin slow roasted but still a smidge below what I hoped. — 9 months ago

Tradition Sparkling Chardonnay - Pinot Noir Blend 2019
2019 NV. Super interesting stuff. Finesse and complexity of well made traditional method but completely distinct in style. Traditional citrus is mixed with slightly oxidative honey and tree sap, with a grippy, refreshing phenolic touch and an orange bitters complexity on the palate. Autolytic profile is not front and center, supports the forest-like freshness. Dosage is zero but you wouldn’t guess it, it’s in balance, not just trendy — 10 months ago
