92 Points Wine Spectator
Vivid, fresh and steely, with expressive apple, orange peel and yeast roll accents that finish on a crisp, refreshing note.
90 Points Wine Enthusiast
Its aromas of strawberries and a rhubarb tart invite more than a few sniffs. Soft acidity and mild tannins support flavors of peaches, honeycomb, brioche and a trace of saline.
Winemaker Notes
A warm and dry summer lead to a concentrated, yet vibrant 2018 sparkling wine vintage in the Willamette Valley. Knudsen Vineyard, protected in the deep volcanic soils of the Dundee Hills, brings supple depth and elegance, while Spirit Hill Vineyard, in the windy and rocky volcanic soils of the Eola-Amity Hills, brings energy and minerality. Orchard fruits, citrus peel, and toasted brioche are framed around a creamy center and long, graceful finish.
