I’ve been moving this bottle around in my refrigerator since I purchased it a year ago. I’m not really a champagne person, but today was the right day to pop the cork. I was pleasantly surprised at the apple, light citrus tone and a long finish. I plan to look for another bottle.

We must have done something right with this bottle, but all we did was store it at the right temperature. Never expected the fullness and flavor of the Shiraz. We enjoyed it with lobster tails and butternut squash and then finished the bottle with a movie.

It is good now and should get better over time. I do think it was too soon to drink. It didn’t open up as much as I expected. The overall flavor was well rounded, however nothing stood out. I’m looking forward to the next bottle, maybe in a year, to better define the specifics.
