“On the palate, the wine is pure, full-bodied, focused and beautifully balanced, with a good core of fruit, fine soil signature, ripe, buried tannins and lovely length and grip on the nascently complex finish. This is the first time I have tasted this bottling from Sam Sheehan and it is really an extremely well-made bottle of cabernet and an insanely good value…It will age very gracefully and is a flat out steal! 90 Points.”
— John Gilman, View from the Cellar
“Samantha Sheehan is absolutely killing it with sparkling wines in Napa. She makes some still wines too but is gaining notoriety for the sparklers.”
— Cameron Mahlstede, in Veranda Magazine
“This wine represents one of the best values in Cabernet Sauvignon coming out of California.”
— Winestyr
“We are not exaggerating at all by saying this is hands down the best California Sparkling wine under 30 dollars. 85% is Coombsville Cabernet Franc rosé and 15% is French Colombard from Mendocino... Buyer’s beware, this is far too easy to drink!”
— Flatiron Wines & Spirits, San Francisco
