J. Schram Rosé, North Coast – 1998 – 95 points – winereviewonline.com
95 points
“Anyone who still thinks that great sparkling wine can only come from the Champagne region must try Schramsberg’s first prestige cuvée rosé, the 1998 J. Schram Rosé, which has been aged for seven years. Not only is it Schramsberg’s best sparkling wine ever, it is also among the best sparkling wines made anywhere — including Champagne. The ’98 J. Schram Rosé has enticing aromas and flavors of strawberries, with a touch of raspberries, but all done in a sedate, extremely well-balanced style. Good acidity, complex flavors plus length on the palate mark this sparkling brut as a thoroughbred. … Perfect for drinking now.”
