Nose of white bread and yeast, almond paste, and a hint of caramel. Caramel and candied lemon flavor. Smooth on entry and through the palate and acidic at the finish with tart lemon that builds and lingers. (467 views) | | | Tasted by sstein19 on 2/14/2020 & rated 88 points: Deep gold in the glass. Nose of brioche, caramel, butter, and candied lemon. Smooth on entry and long lingering finish that dries the mouth. Stronger nose than flavors. Good, however, it’s at the end of its run. (1147 views) | | | Tasted by Asmiller on 5/6/2017 & rated 92 points: Lot of yeast and buttery flaky pastry but still also has a lot of baked apple. Less bubbles than newer vintages.

| 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.Reserve The Wine News | Wine Country This Week | Wine Lover's PageUSAAmerican 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.
