The numerical rating does not capture the spirit of this wine. Full of life -- bright strawberry, citrus, and toasty biscuits on the nose with very balanced flavors on a distinctive Pinot foundation - crisp fruit, red berries, and toasty notes. Overall it was a bit tight with bright acidity, but the medium-size bubbles and their yeasty delights made for a wonderful bottle of wine with which to welcome in the new year!

Slightly citrus in the nose, very easy drinking Chardonnay. Crisp and fresh with nice mid-palate fruit and balanced acidity. Great little wine!

This is a solid, simple Cotes du Rhone. Nice table wine with no pretense, but plenty of flavor and body.
