From Mag. An absolute wow of a bottle. The nose is crazy intense, lucid and profound. Dark plum fruit with a whiff of band aid, iron, black pepper, a tangy meatiness. Loads of delicate floral notes floating around, but a soulful and pristine bottle. As fresh as an early 2000’s bottle but so much age and precision going on. Wonderful. Just spectacular. — 10 days ago

SPARKLING LUNCH
Pale salmon in color.
Light red fruits on the nose with apples, apricots, strawberries, minerals, yeast, brioche and spices.
Medium bodied with medium plus acidity.
Dry on the palate with raspberries, strawberries, citrus, lemons, apples, yeast, spices, bread, minerals and light sea salt.
Long finish with lemons and limes.
This is a delicious Rosé Sparkling wine from Russian River Valley. Nicely balanced and elegant.
Delicate and reserved. Fruity, crisp and easy drinking. Feels like a Rosé Champagne.
Needs 45 minutes of airtime to open up properly. Worth the wait.
This vintage Sparkling wine will continue to age nicely in the next 5 to 7 years.

Wine smelled good right out of the bottle but had a bit of astringency on first taste. That went away with some air and decanting. This wine really showed well over a 2 hour dinner. Good fruit without being fruity or jammy and that made it easy to drink. — a month ago

Quite Chablis like. Just 600 bottles made. Not super complex. More on the subtle side. Lemon and touch herbs 🌿. 12.8%. One of the the producers which are on the burgh side of the spectrum. — a month ago
