This bubbly is so good! Sourced from four acres of original, own-rooted 1980 Wädenswil Pinot Noir vines and made by Tom Sivilli, how could it not be? Temperance Hill, being one of the crown jewels of Oregon viticulture, these un-grafted old vines have spent over four decades driving their roots deep into the volcanic basalt bedrock. With yields of about one ton per acre, this wine has power, complexity and real flavor authority. Aromas of apricot, dark plums and brioche entice the senses. The palate explodes with base notes of freshly baked pear tart, hood strawberry and a bunch of other stuff. This bubbly just envelopes the palate without any heaviness. This beats the merde out of most $100 Blanc de Noirs Champagnes. Almost endless food parings like tarts, quiches, Charcuterie, especially prosciutto di Parma, any kind of poultry or water fowl you can think of and on and on. Enjoy now and over the next ten years. Dosage 2.5 g/L
