“The 2000 J. Schram exhibits aromas of pineapple with melon and apple cider along with citrus notes of orange peel and lemon custard. Rich creamy notes of crème brûlée, fresh baked baguette and toasted nuts are derived from barrel fermentation and nearly 6 years of yeast aging. This voluptuous sparkling wine showcases the bright citrus and tangy, tropical fruit of the Tognetti and Schwarze Chardonnay vineyards along Bayview Avenue in southern Napa-Carneros. The addition of 20% Pinot Noir lends subtle red fruit aromas and gives breadth to both the nose and palate. A creamy yet refreshing wine, the 2000 J. Schram has a long, quenching, seamless finish.” Winemakers, Hugh Davies & Craig Roemer

J. Schram epitomizes Schramsberg’s philosophy to create a wine in which no effort has been spared and no care has been omitted.

95 Points, 3 out of 3 Stars, Connoisseurs' Guide (Nov. 2007): “In the tradition that this wine has so clearly established over the years, the newest rendition of Schramsberg’s flagship wine delivers stunningly rich and complex sparkling wine character. Its incredibly expressive aromas smell of aged yeasts, wines. Well, ignore those folks please. This is a wine with impeccable balance at its heart, and its depth and sheer beauty override our concerns about its full body and elevated ripeness. In short, it drinks beautifully now, and it is going to drink equally well for years to come.”

This wine was recently featured in The California Wine Club's wine of the month club.
