Medium lemon color with aromas of stone and citrus fruits, floral and toasty mineral notes. On the palate flavors of ripe apple and pears with citrus and vanilla wrapped in a smooth nutty creamy texture. Medium+ finish, lively acidity, ending with fruit notes, toasty oak and savory lemon character. Nice! — 6 months ago

Popped and poured; no formal notes. Bright golden color; persistent mousse; lemon citrus, meringue, brioche for dayzzz. Fantastic acid. Long finish. Gastronomic bubbles but so good it can be enjoyed on its own. This is far and away the greatest sparkling wine I’ve yet had from Italy. A wow wine. Too bad it’s priced like tête de cuvée Champagne. Regardless, whenever someone is pouring it, you should shift your attention to this. “I know I would. Heck, I’d go back for seconds!” Drink now or over the next 10+ years. — 9 months ago

Not very sweet at all, tastes of cocoa powder, light cherry red wine (Sangiovese?) and almost no tannin. Soft, lower alcohol than a red table wine, possibly. Paired well here with cocoa-dusted pumpkin cheesecake. — 4 years ago

2016 Vintage. This is a big, full bodied, dark fruit, but dry wine. Also has a sweet element. There is a lot going on here. Nice complexity. 89. — 4 years ago

Less scent, but tasteful, not so sweet. Enough acidic. After is elegant. Good balanced rose. This is in line with maximum brut @1162, Selco - Fluerlis, 181226 — 5 years ago

Medium ruby in color; cherries, black pepper, and smoke on the nose; high acidity; medium tannins; tastes like sour cherries, clay pots, and strawberries with a long finish. It really opened up after decanting for about an hour. Nellie says she likes the flavor, but it's really acidic. Should be great with a creamy pasta. I agree it's too acidic without food. — 8 months ago

Family-owned and operated since 1985. Grapes sourced from several Napa Valley Carneros vineyards, aromas of ripe fruits & sweet spice with smoke notes. On the palate complex fruit, apple, pear & peach with cinnamon and vanilla spices giving way to toasty oak. Lots of French oak aging, perhaps too much. Big buttery oak finish ending a bit bold, about on par with the 2014 vintage (last reserve I tried). For $10+ less, their Alexander Valley Chard from a cooler climate showed more finesse, one of my Fav’s. — 5 years ago
