J. Schram Noirs, North Coast
Wine Spectator
93 Points
Plush and rich, with plump strawberry and apple brioche flavors accented by roasted ginger and toasty spice notes that build toward a decadent finish.
Wine Enthusiast
96 Points
Intricate, luxurious and beautifully mature, this wine, after eight years of bottle aging, shows great depth and complexity in its seductive aromas and flavors of toasted almond, peach, ginger and lemon. The texture is smooth yet lively.
The Tasting Panel

Notes of cashew, vanilla, and lemon chiffon are subtle, and the creamy mouthful is fine-tuned and exquisite. Bursting with chamomile and summer pear; the bubbles are light and lively.
