Just not much happening here. "Candied" red color. The taste was quite flat. Nothing much there other than some fruitiness. None of the refreshing characteristics that I look for in sparkling wine.

Interesting flavor.. dryer than I was expecting and the fruit is muted until is warms to well above the normal sparkler serving point. Pairs quite well with a savory & creamy cheese

Considerably more interesting a little warmer - roughly cellar temp. Really nice with sushi as might be expected, considering how well both sparklers and pinot tend to work with it.

Brought to a wine tasting and this was served near the end. Some people enjoyed the dryness of the chilled Pinot Noir sparkling wine while others did not particularly enjoy it. I am not usually a fan of "champagne" but I quite liked this. It had a nice pinot nose and with the bubbles and chilled, it was quite flavorful. Not a wow but very enjoyable.

Not bad but less interesting than I hoped: less bubbly than most sparkling, and milder more one-dimensional flavor than a good pinot. The winery suggests serving chilled per the bubbles but for my remaining bottle I'll try a bit warmer per the other taster's notes. Brought to Oscar party; no real tasting notes, but one person really liked it while the rest of us thought it decent but unexciting.

Wow! Not what I expected. First pour was a litle disappointing, but it was because I treated it like a rose, rather than a pinot. Serving temperature should be a little lower than room temperature, or as chilled as a normal pinot would be. Enjoyed even more than their still pinot because of the bubbles. Really enjoyed how full bodied and fruit forward it is, with the whimsy of a sparkling wine. Hopefully will be able to get more of this at a reasonable price.

It's an odd mix. It's sparkling, yet it's a Pinot with that twigs and sticks note

Not as good as the other bottle. Just lacked something. All agreed.
