Taking a place at the head of an accomplished class of sparkling in this issue, this exceptional offering starts out with a lovely, enveloping nose that combines a wealth of creamy, lightly toasty yeast with a bit of surprisingly pert and vital, mildly cherryish fruit and follows with multi-layered, fully transformed champenized flavors that are as lively as they are remarkably polished. As it consistently has been in previous vintages, this is a deep and generous wine that displays uncommon finesse, and it sets a very high standard for what the Rosé genre can be. - Connoisseurs' Guide to California Wine (December 2018)

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. - The Wine Advocate (October 2017)

Quite complex and subtly spicy, this elegant wine gives a full array of flavors, a crisp but polished texture and a wonderful lingering finish. It has a light-copper-gold color, aromas like ginger cookies and freshly baked bread and flavors of peaches and delicate rose petals accented by light baking spices. - Wine Enthusiast (November 2018)

This elegant and well-balanced wine has a brilliant copper color, tangy cherry and apple-skin flavors and a mouth-filling mousse. It tastes nicely dry and a bit lean and nervy in character. - Wine Enthusiast (November 2018)

A vinous rosé with creamy, red-fruit flavors of pinot noir, this is clean and lasting. The bubbles tame the touches of sweetness, so it feels fresh and sparkly. Serve it as you would a light pinot, as an elegant match for roast fish, like sea bass with chanterelles. - Wine & Spirits (December 2018)

Festive and fun to drink, with expressive cherry and graham cracker flavors that finish on a lush, yeasty accent. - Wine Spectator (November 2018)

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)
