Community Tasting Note

The Drunken Cyclist Likes this wine:

Sunday, March 7, 2021 - Retail $22. 75% Chardonnay, 25% Pinot Blanc. I received two bottles of this wine for my Third Annual Largest Blind Tasting of American Sparkling Wine and I liked/loved it back then (90 Points). As I open this second bottle for my in-laws? I might like it even better. Set aside the perhaps obvious "my in-laws are coming over, I need some wine" aspect to focus on the wine. It is a bit of a dichotomy. On one hand is the nose, which is loaded with yeasty goodness and a marzipan aspect. Sure, there is some citrus fruit, but the autolysis aspect is the driving force. The palate (on the other hand)? Reverse those emphases. Much more fruit (citrus) driven here as the yeast and nuttiness plays a significant back seat. Lovely.
