1995 Charles Heidsieck Blanc des Millénaires

Joshua Greene, Wine & Spirits, December 2015

“This luxurious blend from the Cote des Blancs is gaining maturity, though it's still fresh enough that the flavors have the taste of a ripe white peach.  The bubbles are fine, the flavors touched by vanilla and cream.  A broad, luscious Champagne to make fried chicken festive.”

1995 Charles Heidsieck Blanc des Millénaires

Alison Napjus, Wine Spectator, September 2015

“A mouthwatering Champagne, refined and satiny in texture, with a citrusy overtone to the flavors of apricot preserves, toasted hazelnut and brioche, crystallized honey and fleur de sel. Presents a lasting, smoke- and spice-filled finish. Drink now through 2025.”

2006 Charles Heidsieck Rosé Millésimé

Antonio Galloni, Vinous, November 2015

“Heidsieck's 2006 Brut Rosé Vintage offers good immediacy and plenty of intensity, both of which make it quite appealing. Still a bit tight, the 2006 could use another year or more in bottle to soften. Although light in color, the 2006 packs a pretty serious punch. Hints of orange zest, chalk and white pepper add an attractive upper register on the finish. With time in the glass, the 2006 softens nicely, hinting at a bright future. Disgorged: October 28, 2014.”

2006 Charles Heidsieck Rosé Millésimé

Roger Voss, Wine Enthusiast, December 2015

“This is a pale-colored wine with a finely wrought texture and great fruit. It is tight and mineral on the one hand, but balanced with the crispest red-currant flavors that offer a bright line in acidity. Delicious hints of age round out the final fresh aftertaste.”

2006 Charles Heidsieck Rosé Millésimé

Joshua Greene, Wine & Spirits, December 2015

“The brisk focus of fruit grown in limestone gives this wine's Pinot Noir depths of fruit a firm shape and brash tension. Meanwhile, the richness of the wine makes it soft to the touch broad, zesty, firm and lasting, this is built age.”

2014 Oberon Cabernet Sauvignon

James Laube, Wine Spectator, January 2022

“Offers immediate charm, with a ripe, juicy core of zesty wild berry and blackberry fruit, shaded by light cedary oak and joined by dusty, loamy earth accents. Pleasant finish. Drink now through 2028. 68,000 cases made.”

2014 Oberon Cabernet Sauvignon

James Suckling, James Suckling, January 2022

“A slightly old-school cab with lots of ripe fruit, soft tannins and a savory finish. Shows some tension and energy at the end. Fun. Drink now or hold.”

2013 Oberon Merlot

Robert Parker, Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, January 2022

“The two Bordeaux reds from Oberon are competent and above-average quality wines that are reasonably priced, especially coming from Napa Valley. A blend of nearly 86% Merlot and the rest Syrah and other varietals, the 2013 Merlot offers coffee bean, red currant and sweet cherry notes, dusty loamy soil undertones, medium body and soft tannin.”

2013 Oberon Cabernet Sauvignon

Virginie Boone, Wine Enthusiast, January 2022

“From Michael Mondavi’s portfolio, this affordable Cabernet is concentrated in red berry and savory leather, a nod to the small amounts of Syrah and Petite Sirah that are included in the blend. French oak provides a hint of vanilla and cardamom, while the medium-bodied palate and attractive finish is washed in coffee.”

2013 Oberon Cabernet Sauvignon

Robert Parker, Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, January 2022

“The two Bordeaux reds from Oberon are competent and above-average quality wines that are reasonably priced, especially coming from Napa Valley. The 2013 Cabernet Sauvignon from Napa is aged 14 months in about 45% new French oak and is a blend of 86% Cabernet Sauvignon and the rest Petit Verdot, Merlot and touch of Syrah and Petite Sirah. This well-made wine reveals a deep ruby/plum color and a sweet nose of black and red currants, licorice and tobacco leaf. It is medium-bodied and best drunk over the next 2-3 years.”
