“This week, sparkling wine fanatics Jeanne Feldkamp and Dan Diephouse of Corollary Wines take the Sunday School hot seat. They followed their dream to start a sparkling only wine label—despite having zero experience. So how did they take on such a technical winemaking challenge, and what drove them to do it? And is their wine any good? (Spoiler: it’s delicious.)”
“[2017 Corollary Cuvée One] offers up a bright and expressive bouquet of pear, bread dough, lovely soil tones, just a whisper of oak and a gently musky floral topnote. On the palate the wine is bright, full-bodied, focused and zesty, with a fine core, frothy mousse, fine balance and grip and a long, complex finish. I really like this wine, but to my palate, it is still fairly youthful and I would be inclined to give it a bit more bottle age before drinking it in earnest. It should age very well indeed. 2023-2040+. 90+.”

“The nose [of 2017 Corollary Namaste Blanc de Blancs] jumps from the glass in a blend of pear, apple, a fine base of minerality, dried flowers, citrus zest and a discreet touch of buttery oak. On the palate the wine is bright, full-bodied and very elegant in profile, with a lovely core and mineral drive, refined mousse, excellent cut and grip and a long, poised and very well-balanced finish. This is quite approachable in its youthful zestiness, but it too is a young wine and really deserves some bottle age to allow its secondary layering to emerge. Very impressive juice! 2023-2045+. 92.”

“[2017 Corollary Cattrall Brothers Rosé] is a lovely salmon color and offers up a beautiful bouquet of raspberries, watermelon, a touch of rhubarb, salty soil tones, orange peel, gentle spices and a topnote of rose petal. On the palate is bright, full-bodied and very nicely balanced, with a good core, frothy mousse, with zesty acids, fine focus and a long, complex and vibrant finish. This is excellent Rosé! 2020-2040. 92+.”

“The bouquet [of 2017 Corollary Momtazi Carbonic Rose] wafts from the glass in a blend of cherries, blood orange, a bit of rye bread, a lovely base of minerality and a topnote of roses. On the palate the wine is full-bodied, focused and vibrant, with a good core, lovely soil signature, elegant mousse and a long, complex and beautifully balanced finish. This is the more vinous of the two Corollary Rosé bottlings and is really built for the table! Fine juice. 2020-2040. 92.”
