2018 M. Chapoutier Monier de la Sizeranne
Anna-Christina Cabrales, Wine Enthusiast, December 2024
“CELLAR SELECTION Powerful and dynamic, this wine showcases a rich savory tapestry, woven with boysenberry, iodine, saffron, violets, and terra-cotta aromas—absolutely stunning. The palate offers a luxurious balance of black fruits and savory meatiness, with a refined texture and well-integrated tannins. The finish is long, with pure blackberry, meaty notes, iodine, and a hint of spice. Delicious now but try to hold well through 2040.”

2006 Charles Heidsieck Blanc des Millénaires
William Kelley, Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, September 2020
“Recently disgorged with seven grams per liter dosage, the 2006 Brut Blanc de Blancs Blanc des Millénaires is expressive and charming, in keeping with the sunny, demonstrative style of the vintage. Offering up aromas of toasted brioche, honeycomb, yellow apples and preserved citrus, it's full-bodied, fleshy and textural, with a rich core of fruit, ripe acids and an attractive pinpoint mousse. It's already drinking well, and I'd be inclined to approach it sooner than the more tightly wound 2004 rendition.”

2022 Oberon Chardonnay, Los Carneros
Michael Franz, Tasting Panel, November 2024
“An excellent example of opulent Chardonnay with plenty of toasty, spicy oak, this rings up for far less than most of its qualitative equals. Just shy of full-bodied but amply flavorful, it has enough ripe fruit to counterbalance the oak influence and enough underlying acidity to stay nearly as fresh as it is rich through the finish.”

Piper Sonoma Brut Reserve
Michael Schaefer, Beverage Dynamics, October 2024

Bright gold, with a fine mousse, the nose exhibits notes of citrus, tropical and tree fruit, along with hints of spice. The palate is clean, and the long finish echoes the nose and complex flavors. ”

Alison Napjus, Wine Spectator, August 2024
“An elegant version, with the fine, airy mousse tempering the impact of the chiseled acidity and together creating a fine frame for notes of roasted pistachio, baked yellow peach and candied pink grapefruit peel.
