Pricey, yes, but a very good wine. Filled with fruity flavors of strawberries, raspberries, limes and tangerines, it has a toasty richness, and finishes dry despite the core of sweetness. The bubbles are a little rough, but this still is a very fine sparkling wine.——S.H.(12/15/2011)—— 91

Delicious sparkling wine, dry, crisp and elegant. The bubbles are really tiny, giving the wine a silky mouthfeel, while the flavors are forward in raspberries and cherries, with a yeasty tang. As dry as the wine is, it shows a rich vein of honey on the finish. Drink now through 2010.——S.H.(10/1/2007)—— 94
