Wine Enthusiast, 91 Points
"With refreshing acidity and length, this lovely, bubbly combination of 70% Pinot Noir and 30% Chardonnay offers a fine mousse that is built around layers of strawberry, peach and green apple. Dry and structured, it shows aging potential but is hard to resist right now, finishing in a bite of Meyer lemon."
James Suckling, 90 Points
"Fine, balsamic character to the brioche, green-plum and sliced-apple aromas and flavors. Creamy and frothy on the palate, with a bright streak of acidity that stands up to the autolysis and fruit concentration. Drink now."
Winemaker Notes:
"Elegant streams of ultra-fine bubbles fill the glass, complimented by generous aromas of bright lemon, brioche, freshly cut hay, and a hint of strawberry and currant. The palate is crisp and vibrant, showcasing a concentration of flavors that range from ripe Meyer lemon, to white cherry, straight through to nectarine cobbler. The energetic and lively bubbles persist alongside the heightening complexity of aromas. With a barely perceptible dosage, the result is an evocative representation of the Carneros terroir."
Alcohol: 12.5%
