New Year's sparkler. Almost like a sparkling Pinot. Dry. Nose has a definite Pinot earth-funk. Not typical yeasty or citrus aromas. Rather full flavor. OK finish. One to enjoy for the fruit and unique style.

Surprisingly deep red in the glass with a medium mousse. Nose and palate all red fruit, mostly strawberry jam with a bitter finish that initially seems like minerality but which is, in the end, just bitterness. Awkward and simple, ludicrously overpriced.

deep rose color. but it smells awkward. a bit of bitter strawberry. on the palate, this has tart cranberries. it tastes like sparkling ocean spray juice. horrible. short and awkward finish. i tried this from three bottles, with the same notes, so it's not a cork issue. ugg. definitely not worth $50. avoid at all costs.
