Lanson Brut, Champagne, France (1.5L MAGNUM) Lebanon Sebastiani's 2015 Gravel Bed Red

Sebastiani's 2015 Gravel Bed Red is a harmonious expression of the gravelly vineyard sites from a warmer vintage

The lift to the fruit and the sunny demeanor aren't always as guaranteed

Complimented by oaky notes with hints of almond and vanilla

It starts off innocuously with a maple-syrup color

As each lot began to slow down
