Staring the night with cheese and bubbles. This may be the only really good Champange at $25 a 750ml and $50 a magnum. I would drink this over most sparking wines as most sparkling wines lack chalk for me.

Beautiful, bright lemon, lime, ripe pineapple, cream soda mousse, under ripe melon, orange, stone fruit, grapefruit with pith, touch of brioche, nice medium intensity volcanic mineral, round chalkiness, brilliant acidity and rich reductive finish.

Excellent QPR here.

Beautiful champagne...especially for the money. Cream soda, minerals and yellow florals on the nose. The palate is; lightly bruised green apple & Bosc pear, citrus, pineapple, cream soda, butterscotch, quince, baguette, fine bubbles, delicate fine chalkiness & mineralogy, enjoyable acidity & long, rich finish. Certainly, one of the better champagnes and value in Champagne. Happy Valentines Day all! ❤🍾 — 9 years ago

This bottle of 06 SC is different than my last. It starts with brioche, almond croissant w/powdered sugar, golden & green apple, apple cider, apple sauce, bruised pear, toffee, overripe pineapple, citrus, citrus blossoms, honey, nuts with skin and cream soda/ginger & butterscotch candy on the long open/finish. The acidity is just right. There is length, balance and a long polished finish. Mmmmmm!!!! At $60, this surpasses Krug cuvée and competes with other vintage Krug's I've had. — 9 years ago

In my limited experience with Zinfandel wines, prior to this bottle, I was never all that impressed with this varietal. Silverado has opened my mind to a new world of possibilities. — 9 years ago

I love these wines... Refreshing, slightly effervescent, quaffable. "Festive" but not forgettable... Soda-like but subtle. "An alliterative wine." — 10 years ago

Really enjoyed this. A bit of a fruit bomb but was what I was in the mood for so it fit the bill. Needs some time to open up in the decanter but lots a fruit with some earthy notes starting to creep in. — 10 years ago

Totally refreshing on an August DC night. Cider? beer? Wine? Soda? You can keep folks guessing. But they likely all will agree it's darn good stuff... — 11 years ago
