Lovely South African sparkling wine pretty good imitation of Champagne. Light mouth feel and clean nose makes for food pairings delight — 8 years ago
Great blend of malbec and corvina, light appassimento method, meaty, powerful, strong, lots if red fruits but earthy flavours as well. Rough tannins with some peppery notes, rather long aftertaste. My type of wine! — 8 years ago

One of my favorite Rosés of all time! Rosé of Cabernet, with hibiscus, and roses. Strawberry & watermelon. Dry. So much fun! Saignée method of production, less than 200 cases per year. The QPR is outstanding, IMO. $18 retail. — 12 years ago
This is a really nice NV champagne. Done in a solera style method with the oldest being a small bit of ‘88 vintage. It’s not quite as caramelized or oxidized as Krug, but there are definitely similarities. Where this is more bright fruit, it has the toffee and marzipan finish similar to Krug. There is more honeyed lemon here as opposed to honey comb. For the price, this is really nice. Thanks for sharing @Clare Gillette ! — 7 years ago

Supreme. Dry. Flavorful. Take note if bottle says method traditionale or method champonoise. You want those on your sparkling wine bottles — 11 years ago
Classic method from Hampshire in the UK, 12%. My first taste of sparkling wine from Great Britain. Light, but intense yellow color, with very fine perlage. "Cold" nose, with scents of confectionery, but a bit "pollaio" too. In the mouth immense acidity (a bit too much for me), and very citrous . Not my favorite. 81/100 — 12 years ago
OK, I'm friend and former consultant of Maso Michei, but this 36 months classic method PN, 950 mt. altitude vineyards is... stellar. — 12 years ago
In 1858, it was the first winery in Rioja to produce wines using the Bordeaux method. In 1972, it was the first to promote the Rueda Designation of Origin. A blend of 90% Tempranillo & 10% Graciano (varies sometime Mazuelo is added). A powerhouse of aromas, berry, sweet spice and some citrus on the nose. On the palate, dark berry fruits, cacao, some smoky pepper with a savory character. Fine tannins, nice balance and good length ending with slight mineral, oak and earthy tones. Great value, short term aging potential. — 8 years ago
