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)

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)

Polished and expressive, with bold brioche and strawberry aromas that open to silky and layered apple, graham cracker and spiced nut flavors. - Wine Spectator (August 2018)

Aged entirely in the bottle, where it also spends five and a half years on the lees, this wine has a remarkable mouthfeel. Pinot Noir (76%) is grown in Carneros in the Anderson Valley, as well as the coastal regions of Marin and Sonoma; the remaining balance of 24% Chardonnay adds spice and length. Bubbles gently caress alongside an almost invisible toastiness made strikingly refined with fresh and fragrant notes of peach, orange blossom, cherry skin, and raspberry. - Tasting Panel (August 2018)

Coppery pink, this is a floral, strawberry-scented rosé focused on pinot noir from Sonoma County. There's dynamic freshness in the wine's lemony acidity and the scents of strawberry leaves and rising bread dough. Those elements contrast sweeter notes of white peach and Rainier cherries. It's clean and lasting, refreshing in the end. - Wine & Spirits (December 2018)

Perennially delicious, this vintage holds up tradition by offering fresh, strong flavors of strawberry, raspberry and vanilla cookie. Blending 70% Chardonnay and 30% Pinot Noir from several vineyards, including Tognetti and Hyde, itâs floral and softly interwovenâa fresh, focused delight. A portion of proceeds goes to Napa agricultural land preservation. - Wine Enthusiast (November 2018)

Pure and rich, this is focused on dense dark berry, mocha, licorice and cedary oak flavors. Packs a wallop, yet has touches of grace and finesse if you look. - Wine Spectator (November 2018)

Graceful and creamy, with snappy rose petal, raspberry, citrus and graham cracker accents that finish on a vibrant note. - Wine Spectator (August 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. - Connoisseur's Guide to California Wine (October 2016)

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 (December 2015)
