2011 Schramsberg Vineyards Blanc de Blancs Late Disgorged
12/16/2022 - Farnelicous Likes this wine: 95 Points
Absolutely delicious! Golden, clear color. Aromas and taste of apple, nuts - almond, honey, and crème brulee. Very long finish.
The late disgorged means it undergoes a second fermentation in bottle, then aged for over 10 years on its yeast lees. Made like Dom P2; this - to me - is even better as its a blanc de blanc. 100% Chardonnay; 12.5% alcohol. Had with lobster bisque - great pairing. Would be great by itself.

2016 Alexana Pinot Noir Clone 113 Best Block 3
1/29/2022 - Farnelicous Likes this wine: 98 Points
Wow - fantastic!! So smooth and delicious!! The wine spectator top pinot of 2018 is no fluke. 2016 is drinking fantastic now. This was 'best block' and I can't imagine a better one. Silky and polished, with delicately layered raspberry and strawberry flavors, taking on black tea & clove accents. Winemaker Bryan Weil's & the winemaking team at Alexana is absolutely crushing it! Congrats!
