Retail $42. Ridiculously Heavy Bottle (914g; 32.2oz). 55% Estate Grown Chardonnay, 45% Estate Grown Pinot Noir.

Golden color; nose is subtle, some fruit; palate has great blend of fresh fruit, slight tart citrus, nice hints of yeast, some early secondary notes with just slight nuttiness, notable sweetness butchery much in balance, bubbles are not too strong; finish is short-med. Excellent California sparkler, and with a bit more mousse and length could be great. 90
