Schramsberg Vineyards
Brut Blanc de Blancs Chardonnay
Calistoga, Napa Valley, California, USA
Terrific vintage BdB from Schramsberg. Lemon curd and orange marmalade notes remind me of the last few bottles of PIper Cuvée Rare 2002. Definite RS with the doseage. Oak notes coming thru as well. Wouldn’t pair with seafood apps. It OS the app. Showstopper for $31. Mind blown.

Recently had this again. Jack and Jamie Davies revived the historic vineyards and cellars in 1965. Today, their son Hugh, continues their mission. Coming off their highly successful 12’ & ‘13 vintages, the 2014 is also 100% Chardonnay straw with aromas of floral stone fruits and citrus notes. A terrific crisp sparkler with crisp apple, peach and lemon flavors, fine mousse with tiny bubbles. Tangy acidity on a lingering finish ending with a yeasty creamy character. Nice!

We did not like this at all. Must have been a bad Vintage. It was heavy and almost bitter.
