Community Tasting Notes 3

  March 10, 2018 - Similar notes to 9/17 -- this misses a beat compared to last time, but it's still an extraordinary bubbly. The same components are there, they're just not quite as in focus this time around. Instead, the wine has a creamier taste and feel that comes across a bit more luxurious. Not a bad tradeoff. Iirc Scott is down to his last case or two in the tasting room, but is also nearly ready to release the 2013 vintage, which I can't wait to try.

  Strawberry notes on the nose carrying through to a palette underscored by a hint of pomegranate on the way to a long & rosy finish.

  September 22, 2017 - Stumbled on this at Cellars of Sonoma in Healdsburg -- it's a collective tasting room that represents a handful of small wineries. The most notorious one is Heidi Barrett's La Sirena, but every one of them had at least one outstanding offering on the list. Highly recommend a visit.
  
  Anyway, this wine is part of the tasting room owner's side project -- tiny tiny production, he only made a couple dozen cases of it iirc. It's a really special wine, and not just because of the scarcity. It's delicate and subtle, but the purity is outstanding. Perfectly-delineated strawberry, cardamom, rose petal, and white pepper. Honey graham cracker rounds out the finish, which hangs weightlessly for half a minute. Ultrafine, persistent bead. One of the best sparkling wines I've ever had -- hats off.
