| | Tasted by vinhonotte on 12/26/2019 & rated 91 points: Medium lemon, very bright, with fine beads. Bread yeasty aromas and lemon. Very ripe lemon fruit flavours, even candied, and creamy, and a slight sense of soft clay soils, with slight yeasty characters showing up later. Fair finish (1711 views) |
| | Tasted by Nestor John Salazar on 4/30/2019: Neutral taste. Grapefruit citrus taste but not overwhelmingly. Light small affervescrnce (1813 views) |
| | Tasted by Asmiller on 1/6/2018 & rated 90 points: Late disgorged bottle - good bubbles and aged chardonnay nose. A bit pricey at $100. (2641 views) |
| | Tasted by beezer6 on 12/31/2017 & rated 91 points: From Magnum at pre shift at MJ's OB. Thanks Jorge.

| | Tasted by Asmiller on 12/21/2017 & rated 91 points: Made me think of croissants with citrus and candied ginger marmalade (2543 views) |
| | Tasted by jonahfactor on 12/24/2015: The opener to Christmas Eve festivities with family. Lovely -- both this sparkler and the evening. Softened effervescence and straw hued in the glass, this is fully matured and likely won't get any better. Pears, apples, slight citrus and brioche. Nice toast in the finish. The 2012, which we had afterwards, suffered in comparison. (3504 views) |
| | Tasted by eoinhharkins on 7/26/2015 & rated 92 points: Found another bottle in the cellar, and shows how well this producer's even entry level wines stand up with some additional bottle age, nice clean, golden Apple, brioche, pears, citrus, palate is a joy! The effervescence has subsided to yield a fresh harmonious mouth feel with generous fruit and acidity (3589 views) |
| | Tasted by eoinhharkins on 3/28/2014 & rated 91 points: Certainly feels like it's peaking now, nice evolution on the notes, with hazel nut, brioche and apple, fruit has a mature feel on the palate with lively mousse and zippy acidity keeping it fresh (4213 views) |
| | Tasted by lockandkey2 on 1/1/2014 & rated 92 points: good med+ to full body, nice apple and yeast on nose, this was ready to be drunk. don't hold any longer. (4301 views) |
| | Tasted by bestdamncab on 11/18/2013 & rated 90 points: Lovely nose of cream, honey, lemon zest, and citrus with a nice mousse and tiny bubbles, more of he same on the palate, very creamy and velvety taste, a great starter sparkling wine. (4325 views) |
| | Tasted by TPB on 10/31/2013 & rated 92 points: Excellent - light lemon and toasty, yeasty notes in the nose. More cream and bread in the finish. Perfect sparkler and better than most French champagne's to my palate. (2730 views) |
| | Tasted by wconnolly on 12/25/2012 & rated 88 points: Pale golden straw color. Yeasty with small tight bubbles. This has lost some of the citrus zest flavor from a year or two ago. Probably hung on to this a year too long. Does not change my opinion of Schramsberg as the premier sparkling wine producer in the US. (3624 views) |
| | Tasted by DAN BAILEY on 10/18/2012: Served double blind. Noticeably heavier than the 06 Vilmart served alongside it. A bruiser in comparison. Quite taut, lactic and autolytic with plenty of white bread. I had this as the french one of the pair, thinking a selosse! (2858 views) |
| | Tasted by wmccone54 on 7/20/2012 & rated 88 points: Drank from a 375ml split. Very toasty and yeasty. Sweet lemon flavors with a gingery undertone. Good effervescence. Slightly disappointing given that the 2006 Blanc de Noirs was excellent. (2640 views) |
| | Tasted by maderay on 5/4/2012 & rated 89 points: G-VG. Bought and drank at Joe's Stone Crabs. (3038 views) |
| | Tasted by Libiamo! on 2/24/2012 & rated 88 points: Fruit forwarded style (Warm vintage?). Lemon, brioche notes on the nose. Creamy. Medium finish. Solid good sparkling wine from US. (1906 views) |
| | Tasted by DLCampbell on 2/14/2012 & rated 88 points: Pleasant and well made. Had some great yeasty/toasty aromas and flavors with decent depth. Schramsberg always does a great job, but this one didn't blow me away. Solid value sparkler. (3541 views) |
| | Tasted by canan on 2/3/2012 & rated 92 points: Nose: very young green apple, oysters and salt water.
Palate: Very fresh green apples mixed with salt water. Minerals and a pure and clean flavor.
Impressive. (1819 views) |
| | Tasted by Vince92673 on 1/30/2012 & rated 88 points: This wine is good, but a little too soft and sweet to be great. (1881 views) |
| | Tasted by DanH on 12/27/2011 & rated 93 points: Strangely I keep liking this more and more. (3055 views) |
| | Tasted by wongkevins on 12/20/2011 & rated 90 points: Great bottle of sparkling wine, very balanced with a very rounded almost creamy texture. (3095 views) |
| | Tasted by drdebs on 10/14/2011 & rated 90 points: Not like any other US sparkler I've had--but then I don't usually drink vintage bubbles from 375 mls. Honey, cinnamon toast aromas and flavors, with lots of yeast coming through in the mid palate. Fine bead, creamy mousse. Very appealing--tastes older than 2006, which I guess makes sense given the bottle size. Would definitely repeat if I got the chance. (2058 views) |
| | Tasted by DanH on 8/17/2011 & rated 92 points: I am really impressed with how well balanced this wine has become after just a few more months. Beautiful blend of pear, citrus, minerality and yeast. wonderful (3677 views) |
| | Tasted by meistereder on 8/14/2011 & rated 92 points: Sparkling wine is either good or bad. This is very good. Nice balance, not too much acid. Good structure for a blanc de blancs. Celebrating getting through a Monday. It's the little things. (3546 views) |
| | Tasted by rjdoan on 8/9/2011 & rated 88 points: Great starter for a fantastic meal. Light and dry, great with cheese. (3510 views) |
