Always one of the better Sancerre's from the home of Sauvignon Blanc. This one is a bit surprising though. Blind, I might have guessed New Zealand. The nose has that gooseberry quality and very fresh. On the palate, the gooseberry continues thru. Nice acidity. Plenty of verve. Should be great with food. Nice finish. Always a nice value.
Green/gold in color. The nose has slight limes and a bit of asparagus. Slight minerals. On the palate, this is a bit flabby. Sort of non-descript. It is a fine wine but not very exciting. Just ok. At $30, any value is questionable. YMMV.
Quite nice. Light golden in color. Nice mousse with a lot of tiny bubbles. On the nose this is a bit nutty with green apples. Crisp acidity on the palate. The apples carry thru along with a refreshing minerality. Long finish. Rerally a very nice Champagne for the money.
Light golden in color. On the nose, this has nice red apples and slight peach. Medium bodied. Slightly sweet. It has a nice minerality with a touch of apples on the palate. Clen finish.
Light golden in color. The nose is nice with minerals and peah. On the palate, this is slightly sweet. Very clean. Peaches. Not dessert level but noticeable. Enough acidity to work with. Nice finish.
Nice Champagne at a reasonable price. Light golf in color. The nose has biscuits and a slight lemon note. A nice mousse with fairly small bubbles. On the palate, this has a nice acidity. Slightly yeasty, slightly biscuit. More mineral than fruit. Good finish. Very nice.
Interesting but my least favortie of the Graham Beck lineup. Light gold in color. The nose has some slight minerals to it. On the palate, this is slightly sweet. It is tasty but not as deep. A hint of bitterness on the finish. A very solid wine and still a fine value.
Even better than the regular Brut. Another great value in sparkling wine from South Africa. This has a pale silvery pink color. The nose is elegant with slight cherries and minerals. Nice mousse. On the palate, very crisp acidity. It begs for food but it fine on its own. Light cherries and minerals. Crisp finish. Lovely wine.
A great value in sparkling wines. This is from South Africa. It is a 50/50 blend of Chardonnay and Pinot Noir. Light gold in color. A nice mousse. On the nose, red apples and slight minerals. It is crsip with good acidity. The red apples carry thru. Clean finish.
Excellent showing for this wine. It is a more modern take on a Barolo. Deep ruby in color. The nose has dark cherries, spice, and slight vanilla notes. On the palate, this drinks more traditionally at 13 years from vintage if still a bit riper. Cherries and dark cherries layered with slight earth and cedar. Nice acidity. Long finish. Worked great with food (of course), but even on its own it drinks well. Nice finish. Seems to be closing in on peak but no hurry.
