March 3, 2024 - Fine effervescence. Aromas of red cherry, peach, lemon peel and Melba toast. Red cherry, peach, lemon peel and Melba toast on the palate. Finishes with good length. Well balanced. Served with Thai basil chicken.
December 26, 2023 - No nose but enjoyable to drink. Would not chase this one.
June 30, 2023 - very good. Nice strawberry and watermelon flavor.
May 5, 2023 - Dry, smooth, and delicious
April 1, 2023 - Haskell's Grand Tasting (Bloomington, MN): Not bad with strawberries, floral and minerals. Refreshing.
February 15, 2023 - An excellent value, as are all the Chandons, we think. Good bubbles that lasted, prominent clean, slightly toasty nose, crisp fruit, just a touch of sweetness. We buy these on 20% case sales. Very nice.

December 21, 2022 - The Fifth Annual Largest Blind Tasting of American Sparkling Wine: Retail $24. 73% Chardonnay, 26% Pinot Noir, 1% Pinot Meunier. Light to medium color with a peach/cherry nose with a touch of funk. No funk on the palate, which is actually quite lovely: good fruit, acid, depth. Nice. 92 Points.

December 3, 2022 - Again not very good. Cheap California Sparkling wine with ripe fruit and mild spice. Short finish.
March 26, 2022 - Not natural carbonation. Good flavor though
March 19, 2022 - A very pleasant rosé sparkler from CA. Info that I could gather shows it to be a blend of 57% Chardonnay/40% Pinot Noir/3% Pinot Meunier. More red fruit notes (strawberry & red cherry) on both the nose and palate than I expected, along with some pastry notes. The mousse is somewhat creamy, but the finish is short. Worked well with assorted appetizers at a long-delayed group get-together.
