Oaky and slightly waxy in the nose, and distinctly citrusy in the mouth. A balanced, thoroughly pleasing wine, with a noticeable oak-driven bite on the medium-long finish. A pretty good effort from this winery known for affordable sparkling wine.——W.E.(6/1/2000)—— 88

Tastes like Chardonnay with bubbles and yeast. With a slightly sweet finish, this bubbly has flavors of limes, green apples and lees.——S.H.(12/31/2008)—— 84

Tastes like a country-style Chardonnay with bubbles. The flavors of peaches and green apples have a doughy edge, and the wine is elegant and dry. ——S.H.(12/31/2005)—— 85
