Once again a wine of remarkable range and depth, the J. Schram Rosé takes its place among the finest sparkling wines to be had regardless of global provenance. It is amazingly expressive with autolyzed complexities to spare, and, for all of its show-stopping richness, it is extraordinarily well-balanced and as graceful as graceful can be. It is a complete and utterly mesmerizing effort that stands on equal footing with its most-heralded, high-ticket cousins from Champagne, and, while it is admittedly not priced for everyday drinking, there is no special occasion that will not be made more memorable by popping its cork. - Connoisseurs' Guide to California Wine (October 2016)

This is a beautiful, complex and complete wine, from the delicate, spiced raspberry aroma through the creamy, nuanced finish. Subtle but well-defined fruit flavors like white cherry and raspberry pulse across the palate, buoyed by an ultrafine effervescence and lively acidity. But the texture is smooth around the edges, lending a sense of extra depth and layering to this extraordinary bottle. Just coming into its own now, it will improve through at least 2020. - Wine Enthusiast (February 1, 2017)

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)

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)

This pretty, floral wine made entirely from Chardonnay grapes from this site is both creamy and crisp. It offers impressive length, acidity and stoniness, accenting its focused green apple flavor. As it opens, it takes on a richer honey like tone that adds further complexity and deliciousness. - Wine Enthusiast Buying Guide (July 2017)

Sparkling rich and luxurious, with fresh ginger and apple tart aromas and alluring lemon 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)

A bright golden color and generous, intricate aromas make this dry wine tempting even before sipping. Schramsberg says it has the least residual sugar of any wine they’ve made in 50 years. It offers light citrus, ginger and honey aromas, then a soft mouthfilling mousse and tangy lemon-lime flavors. Concentrated but steely and nicely bone-dry in texture, the wine will be fantastic with caviar. - Wine Enthusiast (November 2016)

The 2008 Extra Brut, from North Coast, is 80% Pinot Noir and 20% Chardonnay that was 41% barrel-fermented. This wine spent six years on its lees, and shows a creamier, lusher side, with honeysuckle, brioche, Wheat Thins and rich apple butter and pear marmalade notes. Just a beauty. - Wine Advocate (December 2015)

This bubbly from Schramsberg has a deepish, salmon color and peach, melon and ginger cookie aromas. It combines crispness and finesse, fruit with complexity. Hints of almond, walnut and subtle spices come out on the lingering finish. - Wine Enthusiast (2015)

...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)

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

I love the freshness of this wine - it’s like drinking cold mountain air early in the morning. Blanc de Blancs (100% chardonnay) is Schramsberg’s most popular wine and it’s easy to see why. Not only are the flavors delicious and pure (iced pear sorbet), but the bubbles feel different than the bubbles in most other sparkling wines - they’re crisper, firmer, more lively, more kinetic. A mini explosion. A thousand points of light(ness). All in your mouth. - Karen MacNiel (August 2016)

Delicious lemon-meringue aromas make a great start for this medium-bodied Chardonnay-based wine. Flavors are lively, lemony, with baking-spice accents. A buttery, creamy element carries into the lingering, tangy finish. - Wine Enthusiast (November 2016)

Elegant with a fine. long-lasting effervescence and notes of lemon zest, apricot, crème brulee and white rose. - The Planet Grape Wine Review (June 2016)
