| Community Tasting Notes (average 92.5 pts. and median of 92 pts. in 16 notes) - hiding notes with no text | | | Tasted by gharter on 12/30/2017 & rated 90 points: Certainly shows its age in its color, which is dark gold. Plenty of small bubbles, that persisted. Has the smell of and older sparkling wine. Aromas of yeast, green apple, pear, caramel and nuts. On the palate, shows similar with green apple , baked pear, baked bread and nuts. Great balance . Medium length finish. A really interesting sparkling wine in a good place. Not sure it will improve with more time, but not over the hill. (1419 views) | | | Tasted by Wineshington on 3/12/2016 & rated 91 points: Very elegant wine, but extremely aged. Need to prefer more mature sparkling to fully appreciate this one. (1910 views) | | | Tasted by VinoTx on 8/18/2012 & rated 90 points: Little past its peak. Still very tasty, but light with a short finish. Tiny bubbles disappeared pretty quickly. Apple & pear pie flavors. Darker color. (3237 views) | | | Tasted by burr on 3/28/2011 & rated 92 points: Good wine, although not prototypical blanc de blanc. Tasting with Selosse Initial and wasn't overshadowed. (3678 views) | | | Tasted by Old Course 72 on 1/1/2011 & rated 93 points: Wonderful golden color with tiny bubbles galore, toasty note and lush fruit that fills your mouth. Great way to start 2011 (3748 views) | | | Tasted by jkramer65 on 11/7/2010 flawed bottle: can't rate. HUGE BUMMER. never have had a corked bottle of sparkling before. but it was unmistakeable. (2840 views) | | | Tasted by VegasTony on 12/24/2006 & rated 93 points: The development of this blend of 95% chardonnay and 5% pinot blanc certainly shows in its color, which is darker and much more golden than a young blanc de blancs. It was quite frothy when poured, and continued to bubble quite well over the course of an hour. Smells of fresh crusty baguette, candied pear, and a hint of caramel. The palate starts with ripe green apple and baked fruit (pear?), leading into a soft, creamy mid-palate. The citrusy finish is very crisp and tight, so I imagine this wine still has plenty of aging potential. Served at about 7°C (45°F). An outstanding wine, and a very good match for Comté cheese.

Per schramsberg.com:
Toasty lemon-lime and tropical aromas, hints of vanilla spice. Zesty citrus and baked pineapple flavours lead to a long, seamless finish. Crisp, refreshing, showcasing sparkling Chardonnay at its best. Was their first wine produced in 1965, America's first commercially produced Chardonnay-based sparkling wine. (2119 views) |
| Schramsberg Vineyards Producer websiteChardonnay The Chardonnay GrapeUSAAmerican 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 CaliforniaNapa Valley.http://www.stagecoachvineyard.com/vineyards/our_vineyards.php
