Interesting champagne. Eccentric. The taste is like a fake fruity pump fake The aftertaste is like not too sweet cotton candy. I’m not a fan but I will drink it if nothing else is around. This is a lil too adventurous for me. I’m lost. Not a bad sparkling wine but dEf not my style. Give it to ppl who don’t like regular champagne or sparking wine In my opinion. Side note. After 20 min of air it smells of …

Too old

NV it appears, website suggests. Warning: the cork blew out with the cage. There should be a Law: "Champagne" made with added essence of almond? Pleasant sweet almond flavored sparkler clean, nutty, hold to surprise guests after dinner, save your real Champagne for two, save $XX per bottle, inquire of nut allergies.

Sweet, cloying, and full of almond intensity. Tastes confected.

Nice almond taste with good bubbles. Light champagne.

Nice Almond flavor and good bubbles. Not overpowering. Light champagne.

Great after dinner with chocolate.

I had this, once, and lived to tell the tale.

Almondy

Typical California sparkling but with almond flavor added. Sweet, crisp, and absolutely not my thing. Might be good with desserts, but I'm about to evaluate its effectiveness in cleaning drains.

always good almond flavor enjoyable

Well, I was destine to run into this one day and ironically it was during an end of the world dinner. Lots of people love this wine, it's sweet with an attack of pear then followed up by the almond. As you'd expect, there is no hint of brioche or dough and there isn't much weight to it. I won't bag on it because the guests that brought it really love it, I can understand, but don't confuse it with …

- Yellow color - Still flavorful and bubbly. Retained coloring well, golden. Almond taste was rounded and complementary to grape.

Overly sweet and nasty. Could not finish the bottle; just ended up dumping it.

Always a great choice. Solid combination of sweet and dry. Best QPR in champagne hands down. Is it just me or are there no years on this bottle?

Beautiful sums up this almond delight in a sparkling wine. Serve nice and cold and enjoy. Consistant thruout and extra tasty w/ a dessert. We bought more right away.

We didn't like it

Nice hint of almond. Great to drink with chocolate.

Not an experienced Champagne drinker, but I did enjoy this wine. Pleasantly fun and heavy on the vanilla and almond (duh). Would have again.

Overly sweet with little complexity. That said, for what it is, an almond-flavored sparking wine, it was pleasant enough and went well with the variety of snack foods that accompanied a Sunday afternoon of football. My wife, who doesn't like overly dry sparking wines, really enjoyed it.

This has a quite an almondy taste which I found refreshing and light, its probably not for everyone.

Was used to make mimosas. Everyone seemed to enjoy the extra bit of flavor. Highly recommended used in this style.

Big hit with inlaws on Easter - Not for Me I had a 1998 argyle

sweet. try something else.

AWFUL! A friend recommended it. I was hesitant to even buy it, but I did. My wife and I both had one sip a piece, then...Down the drain. $12 of bottled water would have been a better buy.
