Community Tasting Notes (average 87.5 pts. and median of 88 pts. in 69 notes) | |
| Tasted by jbrater on 2/6/2010 & rated 85 points: A little toasty then a lot of fruit. I'm getting tangerines and citrus. A little creamy finish. Nice bubbles, small to medium and lively. The second glass became almost too fruity. It's a nice bubbly but a bit too fruity for me. (68 views) | |
| Tasted by pifcho on 1/22/2010 & rated 90 points: This was surprisingly good. Very nice clean mouthfeel. Medium bodied. Pared well with all sorts of food and is so easy to sip on its own. Good length. Puts a lot of champagne to shame. (299 views) | |
| Tasted by MCrawford on 1/12/2010 & rated 88 points: Solid Sparkling from Napa. Clean, crisp, not over the top bubbles. Tart pears is what came to mind. Good stuff. (374 views) | |
| Tasted by topher18 on 12/31/2009 & rated 90 points: Nice pear and apple flavors. A bit on the sweet side, but delicious. (426 views) | |

| Tasted by rocknroller on 11/2/2009 & rated 88 points: Nice solid cuvee. Yeast, toast and good fruit. Very good at a nice price. Also one you can find in splits in restaurants or by the glass. (905 views) | |
| Tasted by drdebs on 11/1/2009 & rated 90 points: Was VERY impressed with this under $20 domestic sparkler. I got none of the sweetness that others are talking about here. OK, it's not Brut--but it's not sweet, either, at least not to my palate. Because it's not brut, it had a depth of flavor that I usually find lacking in cheaper sparklers which are all bubbles and citrus and not much else. Made in a sec style, from Pinot Noir and late-harvest Muscat, this wine has aromas of white chocolate, toasted bread, and strawberry. On the palate, there were layered flavors of white chocolate, rose petal, Meyer lemon, strawberry, and toast. Pretty great stuff for under $20. (1033 views) | |

| Tasted by marielew on 4/10/2009 & rated 83 points: Hard to rate this one...First impression was great-light sparkle, some musky tangerine/apricot flavors with balanced citrus. However-drink quickly because this wine doesn't retain those qualities after it has been open (and chilled) for very long. Heavy musk dominates shortly thereafter. This is not like some muscatos that I've had with appetizers or after dinner that you can take your time to leisurely drink a bottle yourself. Pop, pour and enjoy this wine with others-because the first pour is the best one. Having more than one glass risks disappointment. (1598 views) | |
| Tasted by wino_tim on 3/8/2009 & rated 82 points: Maybe it was because I was tasting this on the patio at Mumm Napa and they had just told me they add Muscat to the dosage, but I found this leaning a little to heavy towards the sweeter side with classic Muscat flavors of orange and flowers. That being said, this wine is fairly well balanced and the sweetness could work in its favor with certain foods. (1785 views) | |
| Tasted by bubbachumps on 2/13/2009 & rated 88 points: Impressed for a inexpensive bottle of bubbly. Fresh bread, tangy apple on the nose. In the mouth, a touch of sweetness. I was surprised by this, bought it on a new years closeout. (1819 views) | |
| Tasted by KyleMittskus on 1/27/2009: Left in the fridge too long. Some of the bubbles dissipated. However, predominantly white chocolate and vanilla palate. Very nice creaminess. Nice balance. Most definitely a multiple buy. If it is as bubbly as I think it should be, 90 pts easily. (1826 views) | |
| Tasted by codewheeney on 1/16/2009 & rated 89 points: Quite nice, sweet and refreshing. (1890 views) | |
| Tasted by pfruge on 1/1/2009: Yeasty, creamy, and smooth. Lingers nicely in the mouth. Good legs. This bottle has been in the fridge for several months...may have lost some of its bubbles, but did not take away from the taste. (1791 views) | |
| Tasted by jspeacock1978 on 12/31/2008 & rated 89 points: This was a sweeter wine with a the taste of apples and strawberries. (1760 views) | |

Definition of "sparkling wine" at Wikipedia The typical champagne blend is of three grapes - Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, and Pinot Meunier. Wines labeled as 'Blanc de Blancs' are by definition all Chardonnay, and wines labeled as 'Blanc de Noirs' contain Pinot Noir, Pinot Meunier or both in the blend. There are how ever three addtional grape varieties planted (Arbane, Petit Meslier and Pinot Blanc) and used in Champagne, they could be called legacy grapes and do not represent significant portion of the grapes used (<0.01%?). It is not permitted to plant more of these varieties. WineAmerica (National Association of American Wineries) | Free the Grapes! California Wines (Wine Institute of California) California is one of the most diverse wine regions in the world, with almost 100 grape varieties grown in almost 10 viticultural areas, including dozens of different microclimates and soil types, as well as a very individualistic set of winemakers, many with international experience, which adds to and deepens that diversity.
