This wine always performs above its price point. Apple and lemon notes with a creamy mouthfeel. The majority of juice in this bottle is from 2016 and then disgorged in 2019 (and purchased on release) A few years of holding always add some weight. 12.5% alc. 04.13.24. With lobster mac 'n cheese. Recommended.

Next level on day 2. Sat out for 2 hours on day 1 and then recorked. Amazing still life left. Lemon, sour apple, dough, mild chalk, orange peel and spice. Super complex. Maybe the best bottle to date.

Pale lemon. Med (+) aromas and flavor characteristics of honeysuckle, lemon, lime, pear, apple, white peach, bread, pastry, bread dough, cream. Dry, high acidity, med alcohol, med (+) body, med (+) finish. Fine persistent bubbles that give a creamy mousse. Very good quality- wine is well balanced between fruit characteristics, refreshing high acidity, and medium alcohol. It shows good complexity between medium (+) intensity primary fruit aromas (apple, lemon, white peach) and secondary aromas (bread, dough, cream). If the length of finish was a little longer, this could be an outstanding wine. Lack of tertiary aroma characteristics of hazelnut or honey combined with the good presence of fruit and high acidity indicate this wine is suitable for bottle aging and may develop further desirable characteristics in the bottle over the next 3 years.

(NV Roederer Estate Brut Anderson Valley) A very pretty aroma profile speckled with oak spices and lemon curd. The palate is lighter in style, fruit filled with abundant barrel spices.
(NV Roederer Estate Brut Sparkling Wine Anderson Valley) From the moment you pop the cork, you can smell this aromatic sparker which is woven with fresh baked bread notes, yeast, pear, and spices. The oak ageing here provides the palate with a bit of extra richness and depth leading to a lingering finish. An outstanding sparkling wine at this price.
(NV Roederer Estate Brut Anderson Valley) From magnum - a little more balanced and mellow from magnum, with a bright orange note on finish 91+ pts.
