"Light, bright gold. Spicy orange, melon and poached pear aromas show very good energy and clarity. Fleshy and silky on entry, then tighter in the middle, offering vivid honeydew and citrus fruit flavors deepened by a subtle smoky quality. Finishes with refreshing mineral lift and thrust,..

Another triumph for Invictus, whose wine we introduced to our customers for the first time in 1998. Made from fruit grown at a prestigious, first-growth quality vineyard, Invictus is just the kind of wine we seek but do not find very frequently: one that tastes 50-75% better than its price..

"2003 was a great vintage for Roederer Estate. This, their top vintage wine, is very great, and the price is an absolute steal for this world class sparkler. It’s enormously rich in the strawberries from Pinot Noir and the limes from Chardonnay, while the toast and rich lees combine for a perfect..

"Absolutely stunning, a testament to the vintage, the terroir and to the winemaker’s impeccable hand. It’s delicious beyond description, offering wave after wave of cherry pie, blackberry confit, red currant, persimmon and cola flavors, finished with exciting spices. Already throwing sediment, it’s..

Cellar/Tasting Notes
"Pale gold. Pungent, exotic aromas of passion fruit, peach skin, smoky minerals and wild herbs. Dense, broad and penetrating, offering sappy, soil-driven flavors of orchard and pit fruits, crushed rock and honey, with a repeating smokiness. Deep and chewy on the finish, with the honey and smoke..

Producer's notes: "This wine comes from the organically certified Le Bon Climat vineyard, planted in 1998. It is entirely from a central, elevated mesa, planted to the Dijon clone 667. This Pinot was 2 years in barrel, 100% new, heavily toasted Francois Freres, and bottled unfiltered. The wine is..
