Orange-tinged rose color with lazy bubbles. Smells like pineapple and sea salt. Tart with flavors of tangerine and strawberry, and a touch of cream. Sweet finish. — 13 days ago

Color of a summer sunset and the perfect fizziness. Fruity aftertaste superior to Sunkist juice, hints of grapefruit and strawberry. Resembles wines grown in wet, clay soils with high muscovite and feldspar content. — 4 months ago

With New Years around the corner, grab something nice. Made with 100% Pinot Noir from 10 different "crus " (or villages), from the North & South areas of the Montagne de Reims, as well as the famous Cote de Bouzy. Deep salmon pink with full aromas of berry fruit and citrus mineral notes wrapped in a delicate fine mousse. On the palate flavors of raspberry and strawberry, bright acidity with spicy notes and orange zest. Long silky finish, ending with earthy yeasty mineral character. — 5 months ago

With a table full of giants , for many this was the WOTD. Text book Rayas on the nose; strawberry, cherry, spices and  kirsch.
This is a wine that makes love to your palate. Teasing and caressing your mouth with harmonious waves of elegant and balanced fruit. A great Rayas in a poor vintage for CDP. However for me the partner in life is the 2005 , which has complexity and concentration that puts that one in the Hall of Fame along with ‘78, ‘90 & ‘95 — 6 months ago
