Had to write a note on this given the number of bottles in the community and absence of any comments in the last three years; wow!; still has excellent body and balance; great sparkler that is still going strong and is not as heavy as argyle vintage brut can be; what a deal

Cunningly concealed in our picnic basket, we broached this at Lake Marmo in the Morton Arboretum to celebrate Dulcie and Aylwin finally tying the knot after 6 years dithering. Appropriate to use the produce of the Willamette that has meant so much, although we actually had bought this at Binny's.
Golden straw color, the wine has some patina of age now and finishes with a creamy, toasty richness. Not a lot of yeast on the nose, more orchard fruit in evidence. Quality product for the money.

Last bottle and still amazing. Sealed up and served a day later and was still excellent. Love when a sparkler can do that.
