Blended of 65% Chardonnay and 35% Pinot Noir coming predominately from Sonoma, the 2009 J Schram Rose has a very pale salmon/amber color and pronounced potpourri, kirsch, apple pie and cinnamon stick nose. The palate is very fine and fresh, with evolved fruit and autolytic notes layering on the complexity, finishing long and harmonious. - Wine Advocate (October 2017)

Schramsberg's top wines are without peer in California when it comes to sheer richness and the intensely toasty complexities born of extended aging, and, at their very best as evidenced here, they are as uncannily vital and remarkably well-balanced as they are layered and so very rich. The creamy, aggressively frothy 2008 Reserve is a riveting, thought-provoking effort that commands contemplation, and it slowly unfolds to show increasing autolyzed intricacy with each successive sniff and sip. Experience teaches that Schramsbergs Reserves are very long lived, and, although a short year away from reaching its tenth birthday, this one in no way implies that it will tire and fade away soon. - Connoisseurs' Guide to California Wine (December 2017)

An especially deep-gold color and enticing, expansive aromas indicate the extra aging time this Pinot Noir-based bubbly went through. Ripe pear, honey and toasted-almond notes weave across the palate as a rich mouthfeel is picked up by fine yet persistent bubbles. It is a delicious, mature wine that shows how complex and rewarding California sparkling wine can be with time. Keep through 2022. - Wine Enthusiast (November 2017)

The 2008 Reserve has a lovely spiciness to the citrus and berry preserves with notes of clover honey, croissant, yeast extract and potpourri, plus a touch of allspice. The palate fills the mouth with toast and berry preserves flavors with loads of baking spice flavors coming through and a good, long, refreshing finish. - Wine Advocate (October 2017)

Sourced mainly from Napa with some Mendocino, Sonoma and Marin fruit, the 100% Chardonnay 2006 Blanc de Blancs LD has a captivating nose of honeyed toast, dried apricots, preserved lemons and quince paste with touches of cashews, incense and anise. The palate explodes with decadent savory and spice layers, supported by the racy backbone and seamless, brut-level dosage, finishing with fantastic length. - Wine Advocate (October 2017)

Aromatically stunning, with nutty brioche, Asian pear and honey aromas that lead to expressive yet delicate flavors that linger at length on the finish. - Wine Spectator (May 2018)

Luxurious and plush, with expressive hazelnut and cinnamon brioche aromas that open to elegantly layered and lingering baked apple and toasted spice flavors. - Wine Spectator (May 2018)

Made entirely from Chardonnay grapes grown in one site, the inaugural vintage of this cuvée is delicious. It offers a rich core of almond paste flavor, with inviting peach, apple and pear fruit tones, all while remaining light, bright and highlighted with wet stone and gravel. - Wine Enthusiast Buying Guide (July 2017)

Emphatically Blanc de Blancs in its firm, tight, brisk, yeasty, rich and austerely refined construction, this impressive bottling hits all the expected marks on the pathway from its precise aromas to its small and insistent bubbles and misses not a beat across the palate. It simply crackles with Blanc de Blancs vitality and can stand alone as an incisive sipper but perhaps is even better suited for service alongside a tangy, savory selection of nibbles. - Connoisseurs' Guide to California Wine (December 2017)

Sparkling rich and bold, with a hint of age and complexity, offering apple skin, ginger and roasted almond flavors. Drink now. - Wine Spectator (July 2017)

Nicely autolyzed on the nose with a well-married mix of freshly baked bread, roasted lemons and green apples that is carried forward in its very dry, deceptively deep flavors, Schramsberg's Brut reveals a little more layering and range with each sip. It shows a certain lively Blanc de Blancs sensibility albeit with an added measure of yeasty richness, and its mousse is as constant as it is fine and creamy. It is a wine that will shine as an aperitif or a first-course companion, especially if seared scallops are on the night's menu. - Connoisseurs' Guide to California Wine (October 2016)

Expressive watermelon and strawberry aromas open to crisp yet rich flavors of red apple and spiced vanilla. - Wine Spectator (October 2017)

...but even better is the outstanding NV Mirabelle Brut Rosé, 64% Pinot Noir and 36% Chardonnay. This shows a light pink color, beautiful delicate notes of strawberries and currants, crisp acids, a fresh, lively zesty style and medium body. - Wine Advocate (December 2015)

Where once the Mirabelle bottlings were priced with the big winery entry level efforts, now it has grown up and sits just above that tier. And, here, in the pink version, it succeeds as a distinctly fruity and friendly offering with all the juicy exuberance that California grapes can bring to the party. Its aromas are pleasantly outgoing and its open, well-balanced flavors make it a wine to remember when choosing a bottle of bubbles for all sorts of happy occasions from tailgating to birthday celebrations. - Connoisseurs' Guide to California Wine (October 2016)

A light touch of sweetness combines with ripe apple and pear flavors to make this full-bodied wine from Schramsberg taste rich and mouth filling. Layers of fruit and light spices spread across the palate and linger on the finish. - Wine Enthusiast (November 2017)

Ripe and intense with juicy fruit and lively acidity; fresh and bright. - Tasting Panel (March 2015)

Dry and well balanced but also full flavored, this will be a great go-to bubbly to have ready in the fridge for any minor or major occasion. There are ripe fruits along with crisp citrus notes, lively acidity, a rich mousse of bubbles and lingering finish. - Wine Enthusiast (November 2017)

This always reliable bottling shows its youth in aromas that remind of the crisp scent of freshly picked green apples. Complexing aged-yeast notes remain in the background yet do make themselves known, and, in the Schramsberg manner, the wines bubbles are suitably small and foamy. Just a tad on the quiet side in the mouth but well-made and on point, this is a wine that will always satisfy. - Connoisseurs' Guide to California Wines (December 2017)

Beautifully floral strawberry and peach aromas lead to rich and creamy flavors that glide toward a snappy finish. - Wine Spectator (October 2017)

Another big-time winner. This is a blend of 76% Pinot Noir and 24% Chardonnay, of which 33% was barrel fermented. This wine is ripe, broad, savory, shows tiny bubbles, comes across fresh with kirsch-like aromatics and flavors. It's dry, medium-bodied, zesty and exuberant. Drink it over the next 5-6 years. - Wine Advocate (December 2015)

Plush, with floral strawberry and brioche aromas and rich, layered flavors of blood orange, gingerbread and almond. - Wine Spectator (October 2015)

This dry and sophisticated wine made from 77% Pinot Noir and 23% Chardonnay has just whats needed in a rosé. It has a vivid light-copper color, an aroma like red cherries and apple skin, and flavors that are bright and fresh. The balance is almost austere but rounds after a couple of sips. - Wine Enthusiast (June 2016)
