Nice, but the bubbles have gotten lazy. Flaors OK, but it goes a bit dull. - Tasted at winery Feb 2011

Winemaker's Notes:

This wine was crafted with an unrelenting passion for producing a wine of great elegance and individuality. All grapes were hand-harvested into small bins and hand loaded as whole clusters into our special Coquard champagne press for a gentle pressing cycle. Vineyard lots and press fractions were kept separate until blending decisions were made in mid-November. The blend was assembled in December of 1997, cold stabilized and then bottled over the spring of 1998.

Tasting Notes:

On the nose, the RRV offers warm baked biscuit, and thyme-scented honey aromas mixed with soft citrus notes of lime, Meyer lemon and tangerine. This Téte de Cuvée displays a creamy mouthfeel and intricate nuances only extended yeast contact can offer. Its full flavors round out with notes of warm spice, cinnamon and caramel that leads to a lengthy finish and just enough acidity to keep it fresh while allowing the layered structure to shine through.
