Schramsberg J. Schramm Brut
97pts
(CGW)
This latest version of Schramsberg's very top Rosé is a tour de
force of Méthode Champenoise winemaking, and, if built with a fine
supporting cast of fruit, this wine is about pastry shop richness
and layers of minerals and creamy yeast. It is every bit as
beautifully crafted and balanced as it is rich and plentifully
bubbled, and it exhibits stunning length at the finish. To be sure,
it is not a winsome Rosé to quaff at garden parties, and it very
much deserves to be instead set aside for special occasions.
Connoisseur's Guide to California Wine November 2011
“The 2004 J Schram has aromas of fresh green apple, apricot and
lime and a bit of minerality. In addition there is a creaminess
of vanilla custard, and marzipan followed by fresh baguette.
Flavors of orange, melon and lemon are present with some lime pith.
The fruit is accentuated by warm spices, cinnamon and nutmeg. The
texture is rich and tangy with an acidity that is long and
balanced”
– Winemakers Keith Hock and Hugh Davies
