This is a glamorous, fashionable wine that gives the pleasure you want in a bubbly. It’s dryish and crisp, with doughy yeast, raspberry and lime flavors. A good price for a California sparkling wine of this quality. ——S.H.(6/1/2011)—— 90

Sometimes you want the richness of a rose sparkler, and with this Pinot Noir and Chardonnay blend, you get plenty of flavor. Although its dry, it’s flamboyant in raspberries, strawberries and vanilla, along with the stimulating yeast of a great bubbly. Just great on its own, or drink with sushi or roast salmon.——S.H.(9/1/2010)—— 92

A bit rough and scoury around the edges, but dry and crisp and elegantly constructed, with rich flavors of citrus fruits, yeasty baked dough and vanilla. Drink now.——S.H.(7/1/2009)—— 87

The vintage was a very ripe one, and the heat shows. It’s very forward, almost jammy, in sweet strawberry and peach flavors. This robs the wine of some elegance and finesse, but it’s still an attractive sipper.——S.H.(12/31/2007)—— 85
