Community Tasting Notes 7

  March 25, 2014 - Very youthful and fresh (though this was served from magnum) with bright peach and citrus fruit tinged with sweeter doughy and yeasty notes. Not the most complex, and showing a bit of sweetness (dosage?) on the back end, but nicely balanced and refreshing.

  July 27, 2009 - Random Wines at Mike and Karen's house.: Citrus,green apple, and yeast on the nose.
  The mid palate is a bit hollow but the back end
  brings a nice acidic yeasty finish.

  July 18, 2009 - A random Saturday Evening (Mike and Karen's): nose: interesting nose of lemon drops, yeast, bits of honey and mineral tones. Well evolved nose with nice depth that has a interesting aspect to it
  
  taste: a bit hollow on the mid-palate which detracts from it, but posseses nice tones of lemon drops, minerals, and a good amount of honey. Nice medium acidity accompanies this
  
  overall: a really good and mature california sparkler. If the mid-palate had a bit more to it, it'd be a lot better, but what is there is a very nice sparkler

  January 21, 2009 - Januarsmagning Vinstyrke 12 (Spar Nord, Hjørring): Let gylden farve og duft af blomster. Smagen er let røget og egner sig til mad, gerne med lidt karakter. En rigtig dejlig vin omend typen normalt ikke er min favorit.

  December 5, 2008 - The Blind Drunks 1997 California Cab Retrospective Dinner (Dunham Woods Riding Club, Wayne, Illinois): Pale color with a medium mousse. Notes of citrus, minerals and chalk. Nice weight on the palate, with crisp acidity and flavors of apple and citrus. Really nice, and quite a surprise.
