This how really smoothed out with age and I really like it now. The acidity before I think was over powering. Delightful. — 6 months ago

@Norman Gennaro Very happy age brought you a positive experience. Up to now it has been my experience that Ceritas whites need time. The foundation for really good wines are there they just have to come together. I am hoping it was my note that motivated you to revisit their whites.

@Norman Gennaro If you have other bottles try to put 1 or 2 down for 10 + years.

@Ira Schwartz you were right! I have a habit of losing wines in my storage so 10+ can easily happen ;)

Cayuse Vineyards

Flying Pig Cabernet Franc Blend

Brenda Terzich-Garland
9.3

Color is tawny red with some signs of bricking. A savory rich nose: initial cherry and subtle Cayuse funk with some bacon, gravely rock, and floating notes of sweet florals. The taste just jumps from the glass - a soft juicy mixture of black cherry-plum fruit, stewed meat and minerals, tobacco and a raspberry pencil lead medium plus finish. Tannins smooth, but could still use some aging. The Flying Pig is a first and lives up to the Cayuse brand. A lucky find! — 4 years ago

Clos Pepe Vineyard Goat Bubbles Blanc de Noirs Pinot Noir 2016

Vanessa
9.1

At Flying Goat, the goal is to produce unpretentious, playful wines while retaining a serious quality focus and commitment to a purity of expression from single-vineyard sites such as the Solomon Hills Vineyard, Bien Nacido Vineyard, Rancho Santa Rosa, to name a few.

This intention is reinforced by everything from the whimsical labels (Flying Goat, Goat Bubbles, YNOT), to the critical acclaim Flying Goat Cellars has garnered for its impressive wines, to the impeccably balanced and delicious Pinot Noir and vintage, traditional method sparkling wines.

This 2016 blanc de noirs sparkler — made with Pinot Noir hailing from the Bien Nacido Vineyard — is medium gold in appearance, with a fine and creamy mousse, and fresh notes of just-ripe yellow apple, pear, white peach, lemon zest, citrus blossom, biscuit, toast, brioche, toasted almond, and marzipan. It has a lingering, elegant finish.

@Delectable Wine this is the blanc de noirs bien nacido vineyard 2016 vintage sparkling (Goat Bubbles, Flying Goat Cellars) — 9 months ago
