  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.
