Clos du Récif Blanc Carignan 2014
Pineapple favors and a really unique wine. Great for being created here. Must have a dedicated winemaker and probably uniquely crazy to try it in such conditions. Bravo! — 9 years ago

CFGV (Compagnie Française des Grands Vins)
Le Cardinale Brut Blanc de Blancs Chardonnay
Light straw in color with a golden hue.
Very aromatic nose of lemons, white flowers, yeast, green apples, grapefruits, minerals, spices, herbs and white pepper.
Light bodied with high acidity and a lot of tiny bubbles.
Dry on the palate with green apples, grapefruits, bread, spices and white pepper.
Medium plus in length with limes and bitter almonds.
A well balanced sparkling wine from France. Enjoyable by itself or with food. Good quality, fruity and refreshing.
I had it at the end of the meal, by itself. This is delightful.
10.5% alcohol by volume. — 8 years ago

Jurassic Ridge
Syrah 2013
A little gem from a thoughtful winemaker on Waiheke Island.
Flowery pink, raspberry, spice on the nose, dry, yes dry, with good acidity. Ripe red fruits with black pepper, good weight - a great food wine.
Delicious with seared scallops and roasted tomatoes; not bad either with avocado, tomato and mozzarella tricolore! — 10 years ago

Is the Brut Reserve the same as Brut La Française, just different names for different regions?
This bottle was disgorged in 2015 but I don’t know the based vintage. A bit more advanced than I expected with light oxidative note. Fine bubbles are persistent but lacking a bit of energy.
Still very delicious. — 5 months ago
