| Community Tasting Notes (average 90.2 pts. and median of 91 pts. in 27 notes) - hiding notes with no text | | | Tasted by TG67 on 11/25/2023 & rated 91 points: Served with oysters and shrimp cocktail. Still lovely and lively with just a hint of maturity as previous rater noted. Tight bubbles. All enjoyed. (224 views) | | | Tasted by ChateauShiny on 10/1/2023 & rated 92 points: Poured a medium dark gold with very fine bubbles. Clean and pleasant nose of toasted nuts, brioche, apples, and sea mist. Medium bodied, crisp, and showing a hint of maturity. Palate of green apples, lemons, strawberries, caramel, toasted almonds, a bit of marzipan, and just a mild hint of yeast. Moderate length finish of bright lemon, a bit of green apple, candied strawberry, almonds, a small amount of hazelnut, and a hint of yeast.
Feels like it can age for longer, but this is drinking in a great place today. (422 views) | | | Tasted by winepog on 10/18/2021 & rated 91 points: Lovely wine. More sweetness than I remember in other IH wines, but round and rich and delicious. Cheers!

Here's a review from WE - "Exuberant in mousse, this wine is luxurious and rich, the perfect quaff for any occasion. Made from 75% Pinot Noir and 25% Chardonnay, and aged for three years, it's bright in bolts of green apple and strawberry.

Sebastopol, CA 95472Champagne Blend"Champagne blend" is a classic grape blend that typically includes Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and/or Pinot Meunier in any proportions.
However, this blend can also include Arbane, Fromenteau (Pinot Gris), Petit Meslier and/or Pinot Blanc as well.USAAmerican wine has been produced since the 1500s, with the first widespread production beginning in New Mexico in 1628. Today, wine production is undertaken in all fifty states, with California producing 84% of all U.S. wine. The continent of North America is home to several native species of grape, including Vitis labrusca, Vitis riparia, Vitis rotundifolia, and Vitis vulpina, but the wine-making industry is based almost entirely on the cultivation of the European Vitis vinifera, which was introduced by European settlers. With more than 1,100,000 acres (4,500 km2) under vine, the United States is the fourth-largest wine producing country in the world, after Italy, Spain, and France.California2021 vintage: "Unlike almost all other areas of the state, the Russian River Valley had higher than normal crops in 2021, which has made for a wine of greater generosity and fruit forwardness than some of its stablemates." - Morgan Twain-Peterson Sonoma CountyMendocino County |
