Absolute banger here. Just barely starting to show it's age, suggesting now may be prime time to drink it. Explosive nose of cranberry, strawberry, lemon curd, candied citrus, and baking spice. On the palate, more cranberry and spice, a healthy dose of chalk, and acidity for days. The finish was long, chalky, and lip-smackingly good. You want more with every sip and, before you know it, the bottle is toast. A fantastic wine.

Just a great nose, so refined, laser focused, quite vinous, great cut. I can understand the effusive reviews about best CA sparkler and all that. It’s top notch juice

From magnum. Great nose of lemon, yeast, and strawberries. Good acidity with orange, lemon, grapefruit, and tart red berries on the palate. Nice finish. Probably the best CA sparkling wine I’ve had!

Disgorged 8/2015:
A fruity caramel taste with moderate bubbles. A light citrus taste on the tip of the tongue at the conclusion of the sip. Better than expected!

Gorgeous nose. For someone who normally does not like Champagne, this is really good stuff.
