Vintage 2016 | Brut Nature | It is very easy to make a mistake. Thinking you are drinking champagne. This Cremant is made of 1/3 Pinot Noir, Pinot Blanc and Auxerrois and got 48 months sur lattes. High acidity, minerals. Impressive. Paired with Sunday breakfast. — 5 days ago

Dark reddish purple with near black core. Inviting nose and medium full palate of ashy blueberry, red blackberry, and high-cocoa dark chocolate. Dusty, medium plus tannins present (but not assertive) from entry. Medium acidity wrapped up in it all, and a lengthy finish wraps it all up. Classic California PS with enough stuffing for the connoisseur, but still enough approachability for the novice. Drink now through 2030. — a year ago

This wine had notes of strawberry, some black cherry, balanced overall fruit flavors, with undertones of vanilla. Generally this was neither on what can sometimes be a Pinot’s spicy side or inversely a delicate side. This really just was an overall well-balanced, enjoyable wine. Would definitely drink again. — 6 months ago

Needs a little more “jammy” like Truett Hurst a surprise at the end. — 2 years ago

Smells like flint, plum, and evergreen. Notes of blackberry, chocolate, and dark cherry. A hint of leather and pepper. Bright acidity. — a year ago

Racy, aromatic. Pineapple, passion fruit, mango, grapefruit, guava, gooseberry, tinges even of Sancerre-like refinement. Finish has less zip than New Zealand, a flatter, though still pronounced acidity like a Pouille Fume. — a year ago
