82% Chardonnay, 18% Pinot Noir.
35% barrel-fermented.
Aged on the lees for 7 years.

Very good but too pricey at $120.

Yeasty, oxidative style. Toasted bread and apple. 82% chardonnay really shines but the pinot brings complexity. A great American sparkler.

Great start to the night! Dark gold color and rich in flavor. Subtle brioche.

Birthday celebration for @Cody Uzzel at Lucio’s with a bunch of friends. All wines (except sparklers) tasted blind.

First time trying J. Schram but certainly won’t be the last. This is some serious sparkling wine in keeping with many of Krug GC’s characteristics that I love so much. Rich and full in body with nougat, caramel, nutty milk chocolate, and caramelized brown sugar. Perfect way to kick off a killer dinner.

Yeasty and toasted brioche. Plenty of green apple and moderate acidity. Balanced beautifully. Not surprisingly, it paired beautifully with leftover popcorn from the night before. A great wine to kick of anniversary week with the wife!

Smells almost moldy, but is unique and unsuspectingly delicious. One consumer thought it tasted like a yummy blend of cigars and oranges.
