My bottle also had pressure to push out some bubbly even though I was ready for it based on the note after purchase. Pleasant aging sparkler, however, will drink my other one very soon.

First one of these that exploded when it was opened. Sea Smoke had sent an email years ago saying that could happen but was surprised it did after all these years. Very light colored and a tatse to match! Fruit was not as strong as in some of the newer vintages where pear and apple have overpowered the taste buds. This might be the best of what appears to be a limited run of sparkling from Sea Smoke. Would not wait to consume if you have any still in the cellar.

Pleasant and drinking well now. Lost about 20% of this upon opening but there is some history of that with Sea Spray. Pale pink to orange in color. Raspberry, strawberry, tangerine and brioche on the palate. Fine, tight mousse. Opened as an accompaniment to an open air, Charleston Symphony Orchestra Concert on the lawn.

Fresh, light, full of strawberry, raspberry and a hint of toast. Does not display an overabundance of yeast. Tight, abundant mousse. A really nice California sparkler

This looks like it's oxidized based on the palate. The color is beyond light pink. It's dark orange.
If not flawed then a very wine geeky style, almost an orange wine.
