You bread/ yeast on the nose. Strong acidity with notes of apple and pear as well as some bread flavor — 4 years ago
Consumed 05/2020. It is 100% Pinot Noir. I did not know that was the grapes used to make this. Blanc de Noir translates to white wine from black grapes. Elegant, complex, round and toasty. It’s very refreshing. — 6 years ago

Seriously, just based on the value you should be drinking this sparkler. Polished, racy and brimming with pear, brioche and green apple, it may not cost a lot, but you’d never know that by drinking it. — 7 years ago

Been a while since I had a taste. Born in 1973 from the sparkling connection between two pioneers, & settled between the peaks & valleys of northern CA. A blend of Chardonnay and Pinot Noir, Deep pink color with red fruit & tropical aromas. Tiny bubbles, rapid bead flow, the palate shows ripe strawberry & cherry with citrus flavors. The wine has good balance with acidity and smooth mouthfeel. The Pinot Noir gives this sparkler some finesse on the finish ending with toasty notes. Good value! Tasting Sample. — 7 years ago

My favorite 'champagne', this is what I drink for New Years Eve. Delicious without accompanying food, this bottle was meant to be dessert all on it's own. — 10 years ago

Uhhhhhh if this is what pet-nats are all about, what the f@!? have I been doing?! This is delish. Super bready, yeasty, and almost like honey-nut Cheerios on the nose. Don’t laugh, it’s true. Has some ginger and soy-like notes on the nose as well.. super intriguing. Palate is alive with mango, baked apple, and yeast.. though it’s dry, there’s a resounding note of hard caramel candy on the back end. Superfine bubbles. Forget the bubbles - this bottle is superfine. Hells yeah. — 7 years ago
First dance with British bubbles, not Champagne but pretty damn close. Very good structure and acid. Over priced when you compare it to NV Champs. But The region is now on my radar and I am looking forward to things to come. — 8 years ago
