Nose is racy, deep citrus, orange zest, hint of Tang! Dusty pastry and frosting with cinnamon sprinkles. What a nose, showing better on day 2! Rich and deep, great balance, but still a little tight. Pleasant bitterness and grip that pushes this into serious rosé territory. — 8 months ago
This bottle was smoking incredible richness complexity and length. Impressive! — 9 months ago
Magnum pour decanted was my favorite. Really hits with a punch of acid off the bat - pomelo, green citrus, hint of mushroom. Very fine bubbles, cinnamon roll glaze creaminess. Non-decanted version was more bitter, more grapefruit zest and pith. 70% pinot noir, 30% chardonnay - though the color was quite light and leaned straw with just a hint of pink. — 10 months ago

Strawberry notes, crisp and airy. Good for a warm sunny day outside. — 7 months ago
Leftovers from our 2nd Annual, “Bierock Bonaza: Let’s have some funza with Runza”.
Popped and poured; enjoyed over the course of three hours. The 2015 pours a deep ruby with a slightly purple tinge and a near opaque core; medium+ viscosity with light staining of the tears. On the nose, the wine is developing with notes of lightly stewed, spiced strawberry, ripe fig, and cherry lozenges, red flowers, green herbs, with a touch of leather, and a mix of organic and inorganic rocky earth. Just the faintest hint of mouse. On the palate, the wine is dry with medium tannin and medium+ acid. Confirming the notes from the nose. The finish is medium+. The alcohol is also medium+. Delicious. Drink now through 2030.

Light gold color, more citrusy character with bready notes, lighter in body than Bolli, with more pronounced toast notes — 10 months ago
Always solid and I think a good value. The 245 has a bit more weight and yeasty notes compared to the 242. Still enjoyable — a year ago
Color is a little darker than I expected!
Smells like red apple and seaweed…and cured turkey.
Tastes very apple-y, but more of a sweet apple than a tart apple. Some cherry. A little toast and a slight champagne-y quality. Enjoyable. Good deal for the pricier liquor stores in the area I am visiting. 89. — a year ago
Nice sparkling wine, not as the same elegance or complexity as their champagne in France. But still a very good sparkling wine. Dry, nice acidity, citrus, green apples, medium length. A plus is the mousse is very good — 3 years ago

This is a delicious 7 year old Champagne. Round, elegant and rich. Nicely balanced with good structure. Complex and engaging.
Good right out of the bottle, but so much better after 3 hours of airtime.
Very aromatic and approachable right now, and will continue to get better in the next 15 years.
Good by itself as a sipping wine or with food.
100% Chardonnay grapes were aged on the lees in 23% French oak barrels for 5 years.
12.5% alcohol by volume.
