  Drinking well, but just noticing the start of some oxidative notes in the wine. I prefer crisp and fresh sparklers, which this is, but I believe it is just starting to show more notes of aging.

  Lovely intense but super fine bubble structure. A web of bubbles in the glass they were so fine.
  Great lovely melon, light toast and almond butter. Palate is absolutely stunning. So much length and firmness.
  Lively finish that is quite complex. Darker tangerine and some light caramel notes on the back end. Great bottling.
  Recommended. A great affordable way to celebrate with a rarer bubbly from a ultra premium California producer.

  From Magnum. Served very cold. Light straw color, long, intense stream, med size bubbles. Exceptionally fresh/intense fruit. Fooled me completely as I thought it textbook Chard but in fact, Pinot. No stem or skin time with juice. Nice stuff, more of a crowd pleaser, but with plenty of backbone. Nothing off.

  Light, fruity, long lasting bubbles, tart but not overwhelmingly so, low acid, light alcohol, very nice. I wish I had more.
