A lovely sparkling Chenin made by my favorite California winery with predominantly apple and citrus notes along with some creaminess and a hint of fresh baked bread. Really delicious.

2021/5-6. This starts off pretty funky, with some old tsukemono notes. Over a few days, though, it calms down, revealing some nice Chenin fruit and wool, though the ciders side is always there.

Fizzy, minerals, citrusy and with some aromas of pear in the mix. Very complex and yet absolutely crushable. Big fan of this guy but pricey.

Bright and acidic. Notes of citrus. Extremely enjoyable bottle that paired wonderfully with Thai food.

Bringing it again this year! The flavor is so dialed in with lemon, oyster shells, brioche, a bit of stone fruit thrown in, and just the slightest bit of spiced pear. Killer!

Oct 17th, 2020Uhhhmazing! Nose of lemon zest, dew on grass and clovers. Palate is so complex. Lemons, fresh bread, yet a good herbal flavor. Such an awesome food wine. I’m guessing this could pair with 90% of all meals. Perfect for ginger chicken stir fry for us. QPR for sparkling is insane for this wine.

Crisp, super bubbly. Citrusy at first, mild sweetness on the finish. Delicious!

I was surprised by the bubbles! I didn't realize this was a sparkling but it's really incredible. Best drank at just cooler than room temperature. Too cold and it's harsh, but let it sit for a bit and it really opens up. Minerality, very gentle sweetness, very well balanced. Awesome wine!
