Community Tasting Notes 2

  September 16, 2022 - Retail $40. 83% Pinot Noir and 17% Chardonnay. I really liked this a year ago for the Fourth Annual World's Largest Blind Tasting of American Sparkling Wine, but I might like it even more now. Straw hue in the glass with plenty of yellow and green apple. But the star of the show, from the get-go, is the yeasty yumminess. Holy cow and, yes, a whoa. Rich, nutty, and loaded with brioche, this could easily be confused for a champagne. Easily. The palate continues the masquerade with tree fruit notes, near bracing acidity, and all of that yeasty loveliness. While I am not sure how the extra year benefitted this wine, I do know that it is off the charts good.

  December 23, 2021 - The Fourth Annual World’s Largest Blind Tasting of American Sparkling Wine; 12/20/2021-12/23/2021: Retail $40. 83% Pinot Noir and 17% Chardonnay. Quite light in the glass, barely a light straw with a delicious nose of yeasty goodness, ripe pear, and green apple. Yum. A lovely sparkle with really good fruit, that yeastiness, and just a touch of sweetness (I would prefer a lighter dosage, actually). This is really close to a whoa, and particularly fantastic.
