Brut Classic Cuvée Sparkling Blend 2014

Errr, well, classic champagne, I’ve missed you. I didn’t realize you’d moved north. — 5 months ago

Hattingley Valley

Classic Reserve English Sparkling Pinot Noir Blend

50% Pinot Noir 30% Chardonnay 19% Pinot Meunière and interestingly 1 % Pinot Gris. Extremely fine mousse. On the nose and palate Citrus and Granny Smith apple - very refreshing. Chalky soils. Many tasters would pick this as French in a blind tasting. The trouble is by the time this gets to Australia the price is similar to an average NV Champagne so to the average buyer the Champagne is the safe bet but make no mistake these are first class Sparklers. — 7 months ago

Agreed, we love the English bubbles here too, but pricing is getting closer to the first tier, good Champagne offerings.

These are really decent for the price…

The Steven Kent Winery

The Premier Livermore Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2014

Nine year old vintage that I haven’t had in a while. Plenty of fruit and tannins and could have continued to lay it down for many more years. One of my favorite Livermore Cabs. — 5 months ago

Classic Cuvée Chardonnay Blend

The nose displays a nice mix of peach, lime, strawberry, sourdough, and light chalk. Delicate fine mousses. High acidity but with a round edge. Shows a lot more Chard characters once the mousses are settled. Clean crisp finish.

This one was recommended over other more expensive vintage English bottling. Very happy with the choice.
