For the 2021, no review for the 2022 yet!
95 pts Wine Enthusiast (2021 vintage)
"This wine is bright, with aromas of Golden Delicious apple, orange blossom, acacia honey and mineral on the nose. Flavors are of baked Bosc pear, mandarin orange, fresh walnut, toasted brioche and kaffir lime. The wine offers a subtle, creamy mousse, with a long, lifted and dry finish." — Tonya Pitts, 2024
Varietals: 100% Chardonnay
County Composition: 65% Sonoma, 32% Napa, 2% Mendocino, 1% Marin
Winemaking
The Schramsberg style of Blanc de Blancs is dry and crisp. Small lots of barrel fermented wines to create added complexity in the blended base wine. After undergoing a second fermentation in bottle, the wine then ages on its yeast lees for about two years prior to disgorgement. With its vibrant, fruitful and focused nature, this sparkling wine will maintain its freshness, structure and refined finish for many years, even decades following its initial release..
