While not at the same level, it wasn't as far off as I expected. The color was bold and deep, the nose also with apple compote, lemony acid, brioche and mild oxidative flavors. (611 views) | | | Tasted by sstein19 on 11/26/2022 & rated 91 points: Dark gold in color. Nose of yeast, pineapple, and lemon. Flavor of orange blossom, slightly tart with a dry finish. (648 views) | | | Tasted by CheviotCellar on 12/31/2020 & rated 93 points: These are so dependable. Rich fruit available out of the gate. The apple compote here is so flavorful and deep. Wish I could find more of these. The local shop here is now carrying 2017 as the oldest vintage. (1705 views) | | | Tasted by CheviotCellar on 5/29/2020 & rated 92 points: Still drinking great, with lovely baked pastry, vanilla and apple notes. A little less lemon acid than the last bottle, hence 1 fewer point. (1842 views) | | | Tasted by CheviotCellar on 4/25/2020 & rated 93 points: Pours a pale 10k gold. Nice mousse but sparse bubble action in glass. Nose is gorgeous, baked lemon meringue pie, slight pear and guava. Palate is luscious, lemon, pineapple juice, honey, vanilla. Acid is medium high, and sings with food (lemon tilapia), also cuts any of the sweetness and leads to 15 second finish. Ending reminds me of cotton candy aftertaste/fragrant light caramel. (1842 views) | | | Tasted by levinml on 4/12/2020 & rated 92 points: Really enjoyed drinking this. Round and fruity with balance, meaning not too acidic to me. If this is really still around for around $40/btl, it's the champagne deal of the year. (1521 views) | | | Tasted by DonDon on 12/31/2019 & rated 94 points: This was so good! Drunk on New Years Eve from a Jeroboam! Such a brilliant format for traditional method sparkling wine. I’ve had this before but this time the flavours were more evolved. There is always quite a green apple flavour on this wine but I found this more of a baked apple note and slightly caramelised / baking spices flavours which were absolutely delicious. If you have this it is drinking brilliantly. Such a well made wine. Fantastic to celebrate the new decade with!

Yeasty nose, peach, clove; mid body; balanced long yeasty fruity finish. w/calamari appetizer (857 views) | | | Tasted by DonDon on 12/31/2018 & rated 92 points: This was fab! Opened a Jeraboem of this on NYE and was brilliant. Absolutely singing. Fresh apples with some citrus and a touch of toastiness. Great body. Was a hit and great fun too from such a huge bottle (1124 views) | | | Tasted by MrMoose on 10/20/2018 & rated 93 points: brioche, mild fragrant nutty yeasty notes, delicious ! (1209 views) | | | Tasted by MrMoose on 9/4/2017 & rated 91 points: at its peak- brioche abundant, opulent with elegance and balance (2132 views) | | | Tasted by MrMoose on 5/18/2017 flawed bottle: mildly corked (2105 views) | | | Tasted by Ben Christiansen on 4/3/2017: Smokey on the nose, in a good way. ACtually, that is pretty darn tasty. Wasn't prepared to be impressed and I am. (2390 views) | | | Tasted by bboard on 3/18/2017: We liked the way its aged - more concentrated, toasty & breadiness - although wife doesn't quite enjoy the slight bitterness on the finish. Also enjoy hint of smoke on the nose. (2041 views) | | | Tasted by wari on 1/22/2016 & rated 90 points: Great with sushi at this age. (3572 views) | | | Tasted by cweiss on 9/28/2015: Very good.

| Schramsberg Vineyards Producer website2009 Schramsberg Vineyards Blanc de BlancsWinemakers' Notes: “The 2009 Blanc de Blancs offers bright aromas of fresh green apple and juicy pineapple, complemented by yeasty sweet bread dough. The aromas lead into an expressive and generous taste of white stone fruit, apple, pear and tart grapefruit. An undertone of salty minerality and a complex creamy palate are supported to the end with a mouthwatering acidity.” – Winemakers Keith Hock and Hugh Davies

Today, wine production is undertaken in all fifty states, with California producing 84% of all U.S. wine. The continent of North America is home to several native species of grape, including Vitis labrusca, Vitis riparia, Vitis rotundifolia, and Vitis vulpina, but the wine-making industry is based almost entirely on the cultivation of the European Vitis vinifera, which was introduced by European settlers. With more than 1,100,000 acres (4,500 km2) under vine, the United States is the fourth-largest wine producing country in the world, after Italy, Spain, and France.California2021 vintage: "Unlike almost all other areas of the state, the Russian River Valley had higher than normal crops in 2021, which has made for a wine of greater generosity and fruit forwardness than some of its stablemates." - Morgan Twain-Peterson North CoastThe North Coast American Viticultural Area (AVA) in California, covering more than three million acres, includes Napa, Sonoma, Mendocino and Lake counties, and portions of Marin and Solano counties.
