Outstanding! A full-bodied blueberry and cassis bomb that explodes in your mouth. Fabulous bouquet and silky smooth with a long finish. — a month ago

Clos Pepe Vineyard Goat Bubbles Blanc de Noirs Pinot Noir 2016

9.1

At Flying Goat, the goal is to produce unpretentious, playful wines while retaining a serious quality focus and commitment to a purity of expression from single-vineyard sites such as the Solomon Hills Vineyard, Bien Nacido Vineyard, Rancho Santa Rosa, to name a few.

This intention is reinforced by everything from the whimsical labels (Flying Goat, Goat Bubbles, YNOT), to the critical acclaim Flying Goat Cellars has garnered for its impressive wines, to the impeccably balanced and delicious Pinot Noir and vintage, traditional method sparkling wines.

This 2016 blanc de noirs sparkler — made with Pinot Noir hailing from the Bien Nacido Vineyard — is medium gold in appearance, with a fine and creamy mousse, and fresh notes of just-ripe yellow apple, pear, white peach, lemon zest, citrus blossom, biscuit, toast, brioche, toasted almond, and marzipan. It has a lingering, elegant finish.

@Delectable Wine this is the blanc de noirs bien nacido vineyard 2016 vintage sparkling (Goat Bubbles, Flying Goat Cellars) — a year ago

Heavy mineral aroma. Juicy acidity, starts as an unripe blueberry but finishes like grapefruit. Love the tartness, wish I opened it on a sunset porch nite! — 4 years ago
