Reviews : J. Schram RosÉ
93 points / J. Schram Rosé - The Wine News
"....Yeasty nose deepens to toast with dried and cooked stone fruit and tropical fruit aromas. Soft, juicy mid-palate of light, dried orange stone fruit components of nectarine and peach together with hints of strawberry, tangerine, mandarin, bitter orange and tropical fruit. Acid develops and builds from mid-palate to the finish with pleasant lemon/lime elements. Lemon tart, mandarin orange and red grapefruit elements mingle in the complex finish." (December 2009)

"Has a pretty copper-partridge color and is very dry, with crisp, mouthwatering acidity and a yeasty, leesy tartness. Flavorwise, this bubbly is about subtle raspberries,
cherry skin, tangerine, brioche and vanilla. Feels a bit full-bodied and juvenile now. The suggestion is ageability. Try after 2012, if you can properly cellar." (12/2008)

"Its light, coppery pink hue may not be the look of a classic Rosé, but in all other ways this impressive sparkler is just that. Deep and very well-filled with a wealth of incisive, cherry-like fruit played against plentiful and very rich elements of autolyzed yeast, it is solid and remarkably refined at the same time and reveals a bit more with each sip. Dry, firmly structured and able to stand up to a range of special dishes, it will make splendid drinking with dishes ranging from salmon filets to duck breasts."
