Nose is very different from Champagne (sorry, I haven’t had American sparkling wine before). There is a lot of sweet pastry (cinnamon, sugar icing as well), yellow apple, and pear. Surprisingly there are also honey and a little bit of umami/soy sauce, though the later wears off. Nice and full mousse in the mouth with hard candy. There are lemon, elderflower, and some orange on the palate. It feels medium+ bodied and a little viscous. Quite long finish. 8/18

Chardonnay captured, with purity and intensity, sparkled with bubbles. Nuanced notes over the concentrated mid palate core. The depth of flavor and purity are outstanding and offer a tasting experience that makes up for a lesser range of complexity however many Champagnes would not compare well. I'm searching my memory for a female comparative - likely a tennis pro with a fast serve who keeps the ball in play.

Pale yellow and with a brisk small bead, Schramsberg's 2020 Blanc de Blancs offers bright aromas and flavors of lemon zest, Mandarin oranges, green apples, jasmine, cardamom and bread dough. Light-to-medium-bodied, energetic and with a creamy mousse, it stays dense on the mid-palate and concludes with a lengthy, mineral-laden finish. This deftly crafted sparkling Chardonnay would be well-matched with caviar! Drink now-2028.
