Made from Chardonnay grapes, this exudes class with its silky mousse once on the mouth. Baking spice dusted brioche notes combine with lemon rind and copious minerals on the palate. Truly outstanding with its length, viscosity and underlying tension, this beautiful wine will cellar well for at least a decade.

Wine Enthusiast
This wine offers vanilla, coconut and toasted brioche tones that lift out of the glass before a plush, fine-beaded mousse soothes the palate. Pastry shop flavors have a sense of sweetness to round off the wine's texture, leaving it smooth and soft.

A youthful straw hue, the 2019 Blanc De Blancs Ocean Reserve is expressive with loads of ripe green apple and lemon curd, rounded with honeysuckle. Medium-bodied, with a rounded feel, it has a lively mousse, and the fresh fruit continues through the palate, with fresh lemon-lime citrus and more candied green apple. It’s a good value and has a clean and fresh feel. Drink it over the next several years.

Vivacious and sleek, with handsome Meyer lemon, apricot and blanched almond flavors that speed along the snappy finish.
Notes
Winery Notes: "The 2019 Ocean Reserve is a special, limited production, vintage Blanc de Blancs. This is a giving wine: $5 of every bottle sold goes to help protect our ocean."
