Brut Rosé, North Coast – 2004 – 91 points, 2 stars – Connoisseurs’ Guide to California Wine

“60% Pinot Noir; 40% Chardonnay. Schramsberg’s remarkable string of successes continues with this vibrant, fruit-filled Rosé. While all Californian in its expression of fresh cherries, it is never candied or sweet and takes on a real measure of champenized richness by way of its plentiful yeast. Bright and alive, yet slightly creamy in texture, it hangs on and on with both fruit and lots of fine bubbles around at the end. If delightful to quaff on its own, it will make an exceptional mate to dishes such as simply grilled salmon or chicken in cream sauce.”
