J. Schram Rosé, North Coast – 1998 – 95 points, 3 puffs – Connoisseurs’ Guide to California Wine
95 points
“A true Brut Rosé in every sense from its glowing copper-pink color to its deep and very substantial flavors, this involving effort displays a full range of champenized character with lots of yeasty richness neatly fit to its mildly berry-like fruit. Its pinpointy bubbles make for a fine and rounded feel in the mouth, and its lengthy, layered finish is firmed by just the right measure of crisp acidity. It is among the richest, most flavorful wines of the current bubbly crop and its classic Rosé vinosity allows it to pair famously with a wide range of rich seafood and chicken dishes.”
