got a mag of this for 30 bucks with no expectations. loud pop. not a trace of pink. Looked like a mature blanc de noirs. good fruit and acidity. surprisingly nice and held up well with no trace of oxidation. as good a domestic sparkler as i have had.

Larger framed than expected with firm petite sirah structure. Label says only 17% PS but it comes through. Will hold the rest to soften a little but an interesting wine i had never heard of.

Low level- 6 cm ullage. Crumbley cork. Slight whiff of oxidation but sound. In fact picked up some steam over about an hour. Higher level bottles should be very good.
