73% Cabernet Sauvignon, 18% Merlot, 7% Cabernet Franc, 2% Malbec. Cranberry aroma with hints of pipe tobacco. First impression is cranberry juice follow by a floral vanilla retronasal sensation. The body is both powdery and tannic so it reminds me of a dark chocolate powder. Slow long legs give it a balanced heat on the finish. Was a great wine for a thanksgiving dinner. — 4 months ago

Light golden in color. Green apple aroma with a little baking spices in the background. Tartness is my original impression with a mandarin orange mid-palate through finish. The body remind me of a sarsaparilla soda as I sit with the glass longer the first sip back becomes more floral, reminiscent of apple blossom. This is a beautiful sparkling that’s a treat for Sunday brunch. — 5 months ago
Glad to try this experimental bottle on Xmas Eve. Aroma makes me think of brown butter with tingle of fresh mint. Big impression of mandarin orange upfront followed by a tartness that plays onto the side of the tongue. The finish has a saline and mineral quality that pleasantly juxtaposes the flavor profile. — 3 months ago
Unripe strawberry and mint like aroma. Juicy mouthfeel upfront that slowly transitions into a tartness. Flavors start at a tart blueberry and morph into a sweet banana. I like how the mouthfeel and flavors juxtapose between what you’d expect as impressions from each other. Couldn’t think of a better sparkling for brunch. Lovely wine, one of my favorites. — 4 months ago

Not a normal Pinot, but not in a bad way at all. The aroma has got a lot of darker impressions like black currant and black licorice. There’s even a hint of earthiness in there. Initially the body jumps out as it’s pretty thick and sticky. The black currant comes through in the taste. Aftertaste is delightful, it’s makes me think of a juicy plum where than tannin bitterness melds into the high alcohol heat. Enjoying this one after dinner on a pleasantly chilly night and it fits the mood. — 3 months ago
