Blanc de Noirs, North Coast – 2005 – 92 points – Connoisseurs’ Guide to California Wine
92 points
“Yet another sparkling success from Schramsberg, it joins the cast of Pinot Noir based bottlings setting the pace among the winery’s current releases. This one is full of brisk, slightly steely fruit and lightly toasty, yeast autolysis character, and like its mates is impeccably and insistently bubbled. It will be delightful as a pre-pre-prandial aperitif yet has the depth to stand up to light first courses.”
