2012 Schramsberg Vineyards J. Schram Rosé
3/20/2021 - Badgerchemist Likes this wine: 95 Points
Truly delightful. Though far simpler in profile than a vintage champagne, for a small fraction of the price and none of the wait, this is a truly enjoyable drink. The wine screams autolysis from the first sip, and the finish lingers 8-10 minutes later. Fresh apple and peach with a perfectly toasted pie crust deliciously meld the ripe fruit with the yeasty goodness. Buy to drink without worrying about setting down for long term aging. It’s delicious now and unlikely to improve dramatically with time to my palette.

Mediocre. Tasted with a coravin from a fresh bottle. Even 3-4 hours of air didn’t do anything to open this up. Not convinced this will get better with time. If you have any, drink them up at the end of a long night with friends. They’re not unpleasant, but they’re best not remembered in great detail either.

To second the last tasting note here. Had a 2-3 oz taste out of a bottle with my coravin. This thing is sleeping like a baby. Tannins integrating nicely, plenty of acidity to last for ages, but flavors are extremely muted. Don’t waste a bottle of this by opening for a least a few years.
