Kinda smells like a fart / weak NYC sewer smells...the good news is the palate tastes much better than the Spirit smells. Spicy and medium-light peat. — 6 years ago

Unbelievably smooth and very robust full flavor. Definitely a "grown up" wine. Yum. — 10 years ago

9.1

Golden raisin, strawberries, figs, cut red apple, sweet potato, lemon-dill, oregano, smoke and an almost sweet peat smell as sherry shoulders in. Orange is the backbone, from pure squeezed, to zest, oil and pith. Toast, cedar, humidor, and nougats with roasted almond and cashew from the oak. Very smooth and sensuous mouthfeel with immediate expansion of vanilla, mocha, toffee, and finally a shimmering cinnamon with tiny sparks of heat. Secondary voices of pencil, oregano, crepe caramel, lemon peel, shaved chocolate, buffalo grass that burns into a long finish, with jalapeño-turned-peat. This is extraordinary. I know they are coopering their own barrels on site, and I think it is making a fine whisky even finer. Kudos for this magical glory. — 6 years ago

Btw Delectable, this is the reserve bald mountain chard from Ben Lomond in the Santa Cruz mountains. Holy crap this is beautiful. Reminds us of Mount Eden. — 7 years ago

Smells a little like cotton candy and exhibits notes of cedar, clove, prune, cherry, red rose, eucalyptus with perceivable mint-traits. In another dimension this may be a cousin of Heitz's Martha's Vineyard. Awesome to have with bbq'd steak, garlic bread and knowing this is the only winery for this AVA ( just 20 miles south of where I got to imbibe this 400 case production of local goodness. ) — 9 years ago

Should have aged this wine for a decade. Forest and ocean mist, limestone quality to the tannin structure. Excellent wine. — 9 years ago

Beauregard Vineyards
2016 Sparkling Apple Wine (first release)
Appellation: Ben Lomond Mountain

Sight is Hazy, med yellow-gold, with well integrated bubbles. Scent is clean, apple with (-)med accents of Brett and barrel. Off-dry, no noticeable tannin, 9% ABV, clean and bright apple flavors with a touch of yeast and barrel accents. Good mouth feel with cleansing small bubbles. Med+ finish. Very good, drink now, multi-bottle purchase.

Great job Beauregard, looking forward to future vintages!

Production Notes
Native yeast fermented. Barrel aged. Small amounts of naturally occurring sedimentation by design. Newton Pippin Apples, 90 year old apple trees, 2.7 miles from Pacific Ocean in Bonny Doon, CA — 6 years ago

Mild peat. Not complex, but no bad at all. Moderate spice on the finish. This distillery seems to deliver a decent product on the lower end of the single malt scotch price spectrum. — 7 years ago

Not as impressive as their Chard but very French in style and fun to drink. — 8 years ago

Amazingly pure and crisp yellow grapefruit, barely ripe pear, and steely minerality. Lovely floral notes at the back. A great summer drink! — 9 years ago
