December 13, 2023 - Wow! Honestly had very low expectations, but this wine was still very much alive. Rigorous bubbles, decent acid. Not very oxidative at all, very lemon and lemon pith driven. Some yeast, brioche, pineapple poking through but couldn't really detect any real signs of age. I think this could last much longer. Not my personal favorite, but surely a very well-made bubbly.

February 22, 2022 - Spring Celebration-2006 Roederer Estate L'Ermitage, 1988 Pichon Baron and Pichon Lalande (Yan's China Bistro, Walnut Creek, Ca.): 97 points Wine Enthusiast, small bubbles formed a medium size mousse in the glass, nose like a spring bouquet, sliced apple, lemon, slate, shale, cinnamon, spices, Ginger Ale, and freshly baked cherry pie, same on the palate, big body, mouth filling, very tasty, the best sparkling wine from California since the days of S. Anderson many years ago, elegant, complexity and flavors were renewed with each new pour from the bottle, good acid held everything together, at peak, easily last if properly cellared for another 5 years, wonderful, lingering, long finish, and subtle aftertaste, photo uploaded.

February 12, 2021 - Nice! Not too fizzy. Not super memorable either. Maybe a little too tart and sour.
