Refreshing, mineral. Nice chilled. — 9 months ago
Blend of Mourvèdre (high percentage), Grenache, Cinsault and Uni Blanc. Beautiful sockeye salmon color. Floral, spicy and citrusy on the nose. Flavors of apricot, red berries, pomegranate, orange zest, watermelon and fresh herbs. Beautiful minerality and saltiness on the finish and a crisp and chalky texture. Powerful! — a year ago
13.5% ABV Salute to Lulu Peyraud of Domaine Tempier in France. Lulu’s father owned the vineyard , and she along with her husband took it over. Sadly we lost her in October 2020 at the age of 102 y/o. This is a blend of old vine Mataro and Grenache. Light salmon color, watermelon initially , later apple. Very nice! — 2 years ago
Popped and poured and consumed over two days; best on Day 2. 100% Pinot Meunier from Chaumuzy, the wine actually appears almost brassy in color. On Day 1, the wine was tightly wound; a ball of energy with mostly green apple notes, savory minerals and ripping acid. On Day 2 however, the wine had kept its bubbles well and evolved rather dramatically, rounding out a bit to reveal spiced apples, more red than green, with raspberries and minerals that danced across the palate. A massively crushable Champagne with a long finish. An outstanding NV and paired perfectly with the New Year and Mille Bournes. No disgorgement data that I can find on the label. — 2 years ago
Probably the best Blanc de Blancs I’ve tasted. A clean and regal nose of peach, ripe apple, white flower, lemon tart, and banana. The palate, though fresh and crisp, feels expansive and soft, and laces with brioche and hint of sea breeze. Long and polished finish. — 4 years ago
With New Years around the corner, grab something nice. Made with 100% Pinot Noir from 10 different "crus " (or villages), from the North & South areas of the Montagne de Reims, as well as the famous Cote de Bouzy. Deep salmon pink with full aromas of berry fruit and citrus mineral notes wrapped in a delicate fine mousse. On the palate flavors of raspberry and strawberry, bright acidity with spicy notes and orange zest. Long silky finish, ending with earthy yeasty mineral character. — 6 months ago
Light salmon pink, brilliant clarity. Mostly Cabernet franc in this one. Flavors lightly of white pepper, raspberry water and lemon peel, aftertaste of sage and minerality. More subdued than fruit forward but nice complexity for a dry rosé. Good acidity but not excessive. A perennial favorite for me that sings of WA state varietal character. — 10 months ago
This is as good as sparkling Rosé gets in California - certainly for the price point. 55% Pinot Noir and 45% Chardonnay. Wonderful salmon-pink color with a delicious palate of cherry, apricot, musk melon and grapefruit peel. Beautiful balance of fruit and off-dry character. Shows the pure class of Anderson Valley. — 2 years ago

I tend to be rather picky about rosé, but I always love those from the Tavel area. This one is consistently satisfying. Glorious salmon-pink color and fresh, juicy flavors of strawberry and watermelon. Great with our Niçoise salad! 60% Grenache, 13% Clairette, 13% Syrah, 10% Cinsault, 3% Mourvèdre, 1% Bourboulenc. 5/15/22. — 2 years ago
This incredible sparkling wine is unbelievable! I visited this wonderful vineyard in 2013. The hue of rose’ is almost pale salmon. It’s medium to full body flavor is off the charts delicious. A touch of mineral and fabulous fruit. At the mid palate there is a heartiness I can’t quite figure out. This can rival any and every pink and brut champagne in the world. It’s that great!!! — 4 years ago
There is just no holiday weekend or weekend that the Rosé Champagne is not coming out at the D&S lounge.
Really love the deeper, richer, riper fruits of the Ruinart & gentler chalkiness as a nice switch up from my addiction to Billecart-Salmon Rosé.
Happy Eve of the 4th of July. Cheers all!🥂 🇺🇸 💥 🎇 🧨 — 5 years ago

This was nice. Cranberry, baking spice, strawberries jam, some oak influence, but the lighter fruits really made this taste nice. It is not super complex, but overall pretty good. — 5 months ago
