There is no better domestic bubbly. Whole family were very impressed with this. The producer allocates me the absolute bare minimum, so I’m only able to secure one bottle. Oh well, at least I get to taste it…

One of the bottles I provided for a co-hosting with Mark at the City Club wine group. The starter before Mark’s 1979 Schramsberg mag and 1980 Montelena mag.
Tasty, but I found this different than the 2014 (still haven’t popped the 2015). Salmon color in the glass with a dash of pink. Faint strawberry marscapone, red berry fruit aromatically. Layers of strawberries and a distinct mineral and rose note, but this seemed lighter and less fruit forward than the 2014. Lovely finish. I felt the 2014 had loads of time ahead of it when I had it, but for me, this seemed either in an odd spot or at a point where it’s time to enjoy. I’d wager it’s more of the former.

It’s not Fac-Simile lol, but enjoyable with its strawberries & cream-like profile with a balanced acid cut and layered minerality. It misses the depth and concentration of an elite rosé, but for let’s say $600 less than those nowadays, it’s pretty solid, but ultimately overhyped.

First time trying this, and it’s a beauty. Nice salmon pink appearance, which evokes similar notes on the palate. Baked croissant and watermelon present, along with pomegranate. Moderately sweet with a fine mousse, this is so enjoyable. Drinking this now as we won’t make the ball drop.
