Winery review: "91 pts-- Wine Spectator. Lemon curd and glazed apricot notes mix with hints of biscuit, black raspberry,  and smoky mineral in this lightly creamy version, offering a lively bead and well-cut acidity. Drink now through 2018."

My review: POPPIN' CHAMPAGNE. This lovely cup of bubbly was a nice pale-white color. It had a nose of citrusy bitters, with some pearish-peach flavors. Upon tasting I noticed a heavy apricot flavor intermixed with elements of minerality (these come from my notes and not the winery review). There is a slight malic acid factor in this Champagne. This wine tasted very dry and ended with a crisp and delightful bite.
