Occasional wine note
This wine comes from great lineage - from 2006 forward, this wine has earned a minimum critic score of 95 points. The proof's in the pudding though, and we'll just offer that we dig this Anderson Valley gem of a sparkling wine. This is a rich and creamy, but refreshing sparkling wine highlighted by toasty notes and ripe pear. Delicious!

Winemaker's Notes
Fine bubbles and creamy finish are the usual footprints of the L'Ermitage wine. Aromatics of hazelnut, brioche and flint create a mysterious and layered first contact. Mouthfeel is inviting quince jelly aromas and bright acidity with layered texture. Dosage is balanced with the acid and structure brought by the reserve wines from cask.
