  March 29, 2008 - I think it was better two years ago. Although the breadiness and nutty quality is still showing, the fruit has dropped off a bit.

  July 1, 2007 - I love Argyle sparklers, but this one is a notch above. Great complexity, alternating between yeast and brioche, flashes of apple and lemon zest and nuttier almond and hazelnut notes. Excellent structure with a fine mousse and finishing lengthy with a nod towards minerality rather than fruitiness. One of my favorite American sparklers.

  April 10, 2007 - One of the top US sparklers. Loads of bread and brioche apple and pear great structure but what sparkling wine doesn't.

  January 1, 2007 - A little late new year's celebration. Great citrus, tropical fruit, and green apple notes. Plenty of acidity and gorgeous bubbles. Finishes with some cashew or almond notes. Very nice bottle.
