New world Chablis emulation but with a little more ripe fruit character and butter notes. Butter mochi, ripe green apple, cooked apples. Really tart finish with duality if fruit character. 0 new oak usage in this wine, fermented in used oak barrels and battonage for a year. Not your typical Napa chardonnay by any means but elegant and pretty. Perfumed and pretty. — 6 years ago

A glorious regal Champagne! // The color reflects shimmering shades of gold. The nose is baking bread with a glistening oil component and white peach preserves. Tastes of fresh baguettes in Paris, apricot skins, and gobs of crystalline acidity. Finish swoops and shimmies for a very long time. This is world class. — 7 years ago

I'm not going to lie; this is one of the best sparkling wines I have had from California in quite some time. We know that Schramsberg makes great sparkling wines by reputation, but this bottle is the proof in the pudding. Vintage, so it is ages on the lees much longer, and reflects in complexities of honey butter, dough for classic white bread, nutmeg, ginger, and vanilla. The pallet is luscious with a Champagne like mousse mouthfeel, golden apples, lemon, and white pears. The bubbles were refined and sophisticated, with focused acidity backing it all up. Well done schramsberg, well done. — 8 years ago

While a little more golden in color than anticipated, it was a beautiful wine with some great grilled bread and apple notes. — 9 years ago

Buttery, creamy, bright acidity, tropical fruits, toasted nuts, coats the tongue in butter. Lovely for the style, not as flabby as some chards can be. Very nice — 7 years ago

Nose of aged soft Brie, aged forest mushrooms, dried bergamot, very old pear and pineapple.
Taste. 100 year old bread starter, very yeasty and moldy in a positive way. Old yellow apple, pear, old white mushrooms, orange cream, white chocolate.
