Was it the extra time in the bottle OR was the first bottle I had of this wine not as pleasant? For whatever reason this wine exceeded my expectations...pleasant aromas of slight floral and lemon; flavors of sharp, crisp lemon, vanilla and melon. I will definitely give this vineyard another try and perhaps this vintage...I'm curious now. Feed back appreciated. Drinking very well now, but I can easily see another 2-3 years in bottle without a drop in flavors or aroma.

A little earthy funk to it. On the nose. Palate is a bit flabby. Oh hey, its actually the J. Schram. Predominantly Chardonnay. A little bit of shifting of labels here. The Reserve will become the Noirs. Here, 8 years on the lees, prior to disgorgement.

Light gold in color. Nose of yeast and sourdough bread. Light lemon with cream flavors.

Lemon custard, racy acidity, lively bubbles, tart and dry.

Really superb bottle out of a mag that had lots of mousse and fizzy fine bubbles on the tongue. Feel like this is in a perfect spot to drink right now
