A blend of 40% Chardonnay and 60% Pinot Noir showing aromas of fresh stone fruits, good bubble flow. On the palate stonr fruit flavors with citrus notes and biscuit tones. Medium creamy finish ending with a citrus and mineral character. Tasting Sample. — 8 years ago

Maroon to burgundy with a deeper burgundy rim, spin it around and dampened earth and last night's smoldering fire hits but mellows to spice interestingly accenting camomile and a way far-off Play-Doh fantasy then back to the smoldering ember blueberries and strawberries unctuously coating, clinging front to back, then the tannins squeeze the acid and fruit just enough to slow the flow for a lazy decent into a skinny-dipping swim, swirl and, hell yes, another swig, which at a mere 12% I want to dance all night! Don't know about you, but I plan to snag a couple of cases of this seductive stuff with the sunrise. For now, "a glass of red and the sunset..." — 10 years ago

This will flow at my wedding - almost impossible balance between juicy acid laden layers & absolute crushability. 1L of summer — 9 years ago

Light body and very "Pinot Noir" like. Bright red cherry and strawberry flavors. Mild tannins and light oak. Hint of smoke. Refreshing. Chill it a bit below cellar temp. Great story about the winery. A Mt. Etna lava flow just went around them 30 years ago. — 9 years ago

Tried another bottle of this premium Cava, a blend of macabeo and parellada from the Penedes region. Straw with nice tiny bubble flow. Complex aromas of stone fruits and baking spice. The palate shows crisp red apple flavors on this Reserva along with mineral and yeasty notes. Steady stream of bubbles bring this Cava to a medium length finish ending with mineral tones. Nice value. — 9 years ago

Superb! Ultra smooth, creamy and light. Easy flow and a bit sweet. Smells like a caramel graham cracker. — 10 years ago

Love it. That notorious 2011 vintage did little to stem he flow of great Chardonnay from Victoria's best vineyards and handlers. This has just enough ripeness to the citrus and stone fruits, the oak is superbly judged in its structural and flavour contribution and the acids give it great line and length. A delicious, refined drink. — 11 years ago
