very light color with no red hues, a very fine mousse. on the nose very chalky chardonnay in nature, ripe chablis kind of nose. low to moderate lees... very little background funk, quite clean. on the palate high acids, some creaminess on the midpalate, finishes quite dry and clean, low alcohol. balanced wine with good length, very good intensity, ok complexity. wine has a ton of finesse, a very fine texture, and expresses cool climate, not champagne sparkler very well. i really liked this... don't think you would mistake it for champagne (not earthy/autolytic enough)... don't think you'd call it new world chamnpagne method sparkler either (lacks that phenolic fast malic acid drop too warm thing). drink now and over the next couple years. clean, focused, cool climate, chalky chard sparkler.

extremely deep color, ruby to purple rim. on the nose, earthy and slighty rustic classic bordeaux aromas of cab and merlot. on the palate high acids, moderate midpalate depth, tannins are integrating and present, moderate alcohol. wine has balance, good length, very good intensity. there is finesse, a really fine tecture, excellent expression of place. this bottle felt a bit more evolved than the last one... certainly in the drinking window with a couple hours in the decanter. very nice wine.

wow this was really nice... deeply colored, purplish rim. on the nose a lot of dark fruits and a lot of savory woodsy notes. no new oak. on the palate moderate to high acids, moderately weighted midpalate, minimal tannins that are of moderate ripeness, low alcohol. balanced wine with good length, great intensity and complexity... wine has finesse, a flawless texture, good expression of place. impressive wine for its interesting aroma profile and flawless texture and transition on the palate. probably not a long ager but might be fun to follow a few years.

moderate depth of color, purple red rim. on the nose cassis, baking spices, minerals... on the palate surprisingly soft with moderate acids, moderate midpalate weight, a moderate amount of largely integrated and soft tannins, moderate alcohol. balanced wine with good length, great intensity, ok complexity. wine has finesse, a soft texture, excellent expression of place. 15's are very soft wines to me... though they are classic in their aromas. this is in the early part of its drinking plateau and won't be particularly long lived.

forgot to look at disgorgement date... will add later. deeply colored showing a lot of red varietal in there… pretty standard NV mousse… aromatically its red fruit dominated, quite a bit of fruit, noticeable minerality, minimal lees and older wines. on the palate high acids, a bit round on the midpalate (neutral oak or full malo or riper chard in there). balanced wine with very good length, great intensity, nice complexity. plenty of finesse, a very fine texture, excellent expression of place. really nice.

QN: again at common table in savannah, this was interesting. a nat'y and wild style with low alcohol from early picking yet tons of tannic power that somehow isn't hollow or stemmy. wondered how this would hold up with time. (134 views)

QN: at common thread in savannah with fantastic crudo, was one of my favorite whites of the trip, light and neutral in aroma yet zippy, salty, and creamy at the same time... (57 views)
