Had this a year ago, tried the new batch. Began in 1981 in Anderson Valley, a few miles from the coast, first known as Pacific Echo until 2004. Made by the traditional méthode champenoise process with two-thirds Pinot Noir and one-third Chardonnay is an amazing value. The wine shows a complex rich style with stone, berry and citrus fruit flavors, lively acidity with a smooth mouthfeel. Lingering finish ending with big mineral notes. Nice! Good value.

More of a nutty, oxidized (and yeasty, bready) kind of full flavor when compared to more crisp and citrusy sparkling wines.
