“Rosé Champagnes are always chic but not often cheap. For sybarites who aren’t spendthrifts, Schramsberg Vineyards of Napa offers a Champagne-method sparkling rosé at a considerably lower price than what the French stuff commands.”

“The coolest part about visiting Schramsberg Vineyards is the chance to tour through its miles of underground caves, where millions of bottles of nascent wine are stored as they undergo the secondary fermentations that make them fizzy.”

“Virtually travel to Schramsberg, the second-oldest bonded winery in Napa Valley, and meet a second-generation vintner.”

“2013 J. Schram Blancs, 97 Points – #5 of top 100 Cellar Selection of 2022: A confident golden hue in the glass, the wine releases immediate aromas of fresh and baked green apple, lemon zest, just-cut grass, fresh and dried chamomile flowers, along with notes of pastry and crusty bread. The palate is carried by those leesy tones, whilst always maintaining an aura of fruit and florals.”

“‘We continue to hand riddle our J. Schram bottlings, other smaller lots, and any stubborn batches that we may have.'” – Hugh Davies

“Brut Rosé North Coast 2019, Score: 92 – WS review: Offers pretty peach and strawberry flavors and a luscious, lingering texture as this takes on spice and orange peel accents on the crisp yet plush finish.”
