86 pts B. (3218 views) | | | Tasted by globex on 5/24/2011 & rated 87 points: Lychee nose with hints of yeast, sweet but not cloying, dragon and passionfruit finish with agave edge.

Sweet but not sticky little tiny bubbles and nicely balanced with a nice finish; lots of sweet fruit (1881 views) | | | Tasted by VegasTony on 2/13/2009 & rated 89 points: As usual, a quite good cremant from Schramsberg. However, this particular vintage appears to have less acidity than usual, so the finish isn't as crisp. Their bubbly usually cellars quite well, but in this case I'd drink earlier rather than later. (3257 views) | | | Tasted by vinolovers on 3/3/2008 & rated 90 points: Drank as part of a 50th birthday dinner! Good coloring with a hint of straw on the nose. Flavors of straw, cream and a little yeast. I prefer a drier style but the group slurped this one up! (3042 views) | | | Tasted by jackarmando on 12/26/2007 & rated 90 points: Pleasant slightly sweet sparkler; good as an aperitif. (3388 views) | | | Tasted by GreatLibations on 12/16/2007 & rated 88 points: Pale gold in color with sweet citrusy aromas with melon, dough, honeysuckle, apples, and peaches. Taste follows aroma to a long sweetened finish. It's not a cloying sweet though. Nice balance. (2159 views) | | | Tasted by hutch on 12/7/2007 & rated 88 points: Sparkler Sips, Day 2: Creamy, heavy, rich, sweet. I don't really dig this style, but they did a nice job. And I can add flora to the list of varietals I've tried. 88+ (2208 views) | | | Tasted by AllRed on 12/10/2006 & rated 83 points: Poured at Gibby's December tasting. Yellow color, without much of a mousse or bead. Waxy peach and lemon notes. Light body and texture, with peach and beeswax flavors with a rather short finish. (1435 views) |
| Schramsberg Vineyards Producer websiteWhite Blend"White blend" means the wine is made from a blend of two or more different white varieties - or in some cases a blend of pink or red varieties that are vinified white, ie. without any skin contact.
A blend of Antao, Arinto, Rouperio. USAAmerican wine has been produced since the 1500s, with the first widespread production beginning in New Mexico in 1628. 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 Napa Valley Napa Valley Wineries and Wine (Napa Valley Vintners)Napa ValleySt. Helena |
