Napa Valley, California, USA
An interesting one-off anyway. Sweet without being sugary. Peaches, fruit cocktail and bubbles.

Nice red fruits, but has a surprising lack of yeasty complexity and acidity has faded badly, leaving a cloying sweetness. Hugely overpriced at $65: only Napa can make Champagne look affordable. (2001)

Very original. 100% Cabernet Sauvignon 2001 with 13 YEARS in sur lie. Lots of tropical fruit: pineapple, passion fruit; stone fruit: ripe peach; notes of ripe cherry, Granny Smith Apple, intense creamy mousse and creaminess. A delicate perlage and acidity with medium finish. Slightly sweet aftertaste. You can't compare it with a Pinot Noir or any another grape with traditional method. Normally in USA they tend to do the opposite for reds (judge Pinot noirs as cabs - big mistake). In this case (bubbles) is the reverse.
