Critical Acclaim

JD 92 Jeb Dunnuck NV vintage February 2026

The NV Brut Excellence is given less time in bottle and higher dosage than the Brut Black Label, blending 60-40 Chardonnay-Pinot Noir at 8.5 grams per liter dosage. Rich and round in strawberry, quince, and blood orange, it offers a fresh, more immediate, more primary style of medium-bodied refreshment and complexity, showcasing the Chardonnay more specifically in jolts of lemony zestiness. The finish is substantive and long. Drink now through 2032.

SP 90 Wine Spectator NV vintage

Vibrant and steely, with lemon, apple, creamy and toasted spice flavors, leading to a spirited finish. Drink now. 20,000 cases made.

SP 89 Wine Spectator NV vintage March 2022

Plush and creamy, with bright cherry and lemon flavors that finish with zesty spice accents. Drink now. 348 cases made.

Premier Staff NV vintage

Okay, I’m not a huge fan of the retro label (a replica of the original 1981 label), but I sure do love the yeasty, traditional style of the wine, so I guess I’ll let it slide! Bold and doughy, with apple, canned pear and lemon notes.
