NV Bailly Lapierre Cremant de Bourgogne Pinot Noir A ripe and soft wine, this is impressively rich for a Pinot Noir grown so far north in Burgundy. It has hints of red fruits along with pear and tight citrus minerality. The wine is ready to drink. Wine Enthusiast 91 2016-11-22
2013 Wesmar Pinot Noir Russian River Crisp red cherry and a taste of grenadine characterize this light, bright wine, with accents of orange and rhubarb. Fruity and straightforward in structure and body, it retains nicely interwoven acidity through the finish. —V.B. Wine Enthusiast 90 2016-11-21
2013 Wesmar Pinot Noir Baletto A light, clear and bright wine from the heart of the appellation, this bottling exudes juicy layers of earthy cardamom spice and dark black cherry. It’s well integrated and varietally consistent, offering jolts of minerality that buoy the texture. —V.B. Wine Enthusiast 91 2016-11-21
2012 Domaine Pegau Cuvee Laurence A throwback style and proud of it, with warm chestnut and bay leaf notes taking the lead, followed quickly by worn leather and smoldering tobacco accents. The core of dark currant, warmed cherry and mulled blackberry lies in reserve for now, while the finish lets singed iron and brick dust details hold sway. Just wait for everything to pull together in the cellar. Best from 2020 through 2032. Wine Spectator 96 2016-11-09

2010 Sabate I Coca Castellroig Brut Nature Gran Reserva Similarly, the 2010 Brut Nature Gran Reserva has increased the time in bottle to no less than 50 months, and the Xarello represents 85% of the volume with the balance provided by Macabeo. There are balsamic aromas and notes of camphor, roasted nuts, smoke and bread dough. The palate feels more balanced, and the acidity and bubbles are in very good harmony. Here, more time on the lees is an advantage. Wine Advocate 91 2016-10-28
