Nose of caramel, apple, brioche, nut, and candied lemon. Tastes of green apple, caramel, and honeysuckle. Very smooth yet complex from the late discouraging and aging.

Love the yeast and fresh bread notes, but think this wine works better at the end of the evening - almost a dessert in itself. (2065 views) | | Tasted by jeffm_fla on 11/11/2015 & rated 97 points: I tried this at the end of the Wine Spectator Grand Tasting this year and thought it was the most amazing sparkling wine I had ever tasted. Lots of bread, yeast, and a host of other flavors. Immediately joined their club and begged for a few bottles... Hope it is all as good as I remembered!

Two great vintners and hosts...Last wine of the evening.
Great sparkling wine, notes of brioche, pain grille and orchard fruits... nice wine for special occasions (1962 views) |
| Schramsberg Vineyards Producer websiteChampagne Blend"Champagne blend" is a classic grape blend that typically includes Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and/or Pinot Meunier in any proportions.
However, this blend can also include Arbane, Fromenteau (Pinot Gris), Petit Meslier and/or Pinot Blanc as well.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 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.
