Jack and Jamie Davies revived the historic vineyards and cellars in 1965, with a mission to produce California's first world-class sparkling wines. Today, led by their son Hugh, continues with this commitment to quality. A 100% Chardonnay, straw yellow with aromas of stone and citrus fruits, with floral scents. A terrific sparkler shows crisp green apple, orange and grapefruit zest. A medium-bodied, wine with a great mousse, tiny bubbles and nice length on the finish ending with some crisp mineral notes. — 9 years ago

'12 Equinoxe - Crozes-Hermitage. Pretty good stuff from Maxime Graillot (Alain's son). A fruit forward style, but some lift helps. Acidity's a bit green, but that's no big issue. — 11 years ago
Very nice Pinot noir. Goes well with food or on its own. — 12 years ago

Dark, deep purple in the glass. Fragrant and powerful on the nose. Scents and flavors are very complex. Cigar, blackberry and hint of Brazil Du Banana. Nice wine! — 9 years ago

This is the 2004 Ánima Negra Son Negre. It is a gorgeous wine with bramble and red fruit on the nose. Palate is absolutely balanced and set off with one of the best silky textures I've had in a long time. Spice, caramel and a bit of smoke too... Gorgeous and enchanting. — 11 years ago

A five hour decant. Dark cherry and blueberries with a rub of minerals and tobacco. Just awesome — 8 years ago
Great wine, nice notes of tobacco and earth. Plus it's got a Detroit story! — 9 years ago
From an A+ vineyard, on the St. Aubin side of the Montrachet hill. Next to the Chevalier Montrachet parcel, but with a different exposure (south-west instead of south-east). Energetic Burgundy from a rising star domaine (especially since son Olivier took over in 1995). — 10 years ago
Loved this wine. Especially the aroma--pepper, bacon, slightly woody. Mildly tart, bright fruit flavors. Excellent. — 11 years ago
I love this stuff. It's definitely unusual. — 11 years ago
