  Vindredi (Bellevue, WA): Yummy nose, with brioche and dough. A bit leaner and focused on the palate, with lemon, minerals, wet rocks, and a rounder finish with medium acidity.

  Beautiful bright lemon-gold color. A bit too musky in profile for me, almost sulfury, but well balanced and decent enough overall.

  Nose: Fresh, balanced, and nuanced with white fruits, red and green apples, baking spices, warm dough, minerals, white peaches.
  
  Taste: Medium bodied with medium/high acidity. The structure is very youthful, but not overdone with brioche, green and red apples, baked breads, baking spices, and a good dose of minerals.
  
  Overall: While this is young, it's very accessible. This can certainly age, but one can't be blamed for opening one up right now.

  Pure and clean, great force on the palate. Maybe just a touch reductive right now on the nose but just opened as well.

  Enjoyed with friends for a birthday dinner at Daveed's Next.
  Light in color, with a fairly rich mousse, showing aromas of red and green apple, lemon curd, fresh bakers yeast, and pear.
  The wine shows a full body, med- in alcohol, and comes across with only slight sweetness from the dosage. The flavors are echoed from the nose, showing off citrus, green apple, honey, baking bread crust, and pear. The acidity is med+/high, and there is a beautifully med+/long finish showing off citrus fruit and bread yeast.
  Delicious Champagne that is drinking beautifully now, and although I believe it is at an apogee right now, it will likely offer great drinking through 2018 or so.
