Harvest Moon cuvée, hard erect notes of citrus and spice. Great finish that left me lingering with shaft charm love.

Pale salmon color, a blend of 73% Pinot Noir and 27% Chardonnay & aged 3 years prior to release, showing aromas of red fruit with citrus and biscuit notes. On the palate flavors of apple, strawberry and cherry flavors with orange zest, earthy yeasty spice and tiny bubbles. The wine is well balanced, good acidity, some yeast and minerality on the long finish.

Weighing in at 13.5% alcohol this wine is a blend of 75% Pinot Noir and the remainder Chardonnay. Showing a brilliant near salmon color, the wine shows ripe pear with brioche and hints of wild strawberry that fill the nose. I love the mid-palate weight of the wine but despite the sturdy backbone this comes off remarkably refreshing. The palate shows a remarkable tension and salinity, yielding a wonderful range of flavors, from kumquat to Japanese pear to sourdough bread. Lithe and rich, this will cellar well for a decade or more. Drink 2018-2030- 93

This really brings the ruckus for a domestic sparkler. A mostly blanc de noirs at almost 80/20 Pinot Noir to Chardonnay. The copper color is quite distinctive, and after your eyes adjust, the fashion of it is quite taking. Bing cherry and stone fruit are laced with Meyer lemon and served of an almond paste. A simply brilliant balance of fruit, citrus, and nut. The secondary baked biscuit confirms its equal standing with many of the prominent Champagne house’s basic cuvées.

Very pale salmon color with an abundant stream of tiny bubbles with red berry, toast, stone fruit, and a hint of nutmeg aromas. On the palate it's fresh and balanced with an enticingly creamy mousse and raspberry, white peach, blood orange, and kiss of ginger and lime flavors with an appealing minerality and very giving finish. Blend of 78% Pinot Noir 22% Chardonnay. 13.5% abv

Great sparkling Rose from one of my favorite domestic producers of the stuff.

Stroll into the evening. An average sparkler at best. Very heady with an strong nose of uncooked dough. Nectarine, white peach and carnation pack the finish of this Cali Blend.
