Last 2 bottles from several cases. Solid sparkling wine. Citrus, apple, brioche with enough acidity to age and keep it fresh. Fine mousse that lasted long and strong. I think this wine is a good qpr and usually buy several cases in the better vintages as well as some of the extended triage.

Always solid Oregon sparker. Still crisp and clean with notes of green apple and brioche. A little darker and more advanced than previous bottles, but still a solid qpr.

Last bottle, leftover from our wedding wine pairing. Quite resolved: palate is more chalk than any fruit, darker complected fruit profile, still tense, mouthwatering, moderate finish.

Crisp and refreshing, this is linear and vibrant in the most positive of ways. The nose is ripe, a touch autolytic, with a bouquet of citrus and fresh baked brioche. Tart, briny, and minerally in the mouth, with juicy acidity, bottle age complexity, and preserved lemon, kumquat, and loquat flavors. Tasty and great value too.
