Schramsberg Vineyards J. Schram North Coast 2012 (750ML)

98 WE / 94 WS

#29 Wine Enthusiast's Top 100 Cellar Selections of 2022

A wonderful complexity lifts this bottle way above the pack. A beautiful perfume of marzipan, lemon, toasted baguette and ginger lead to crisp and substantial citrus, green apple and fresh ginger flavors that pique the palate and linger for minutes on the finish. While already showing benefits of age, this Chardonnay-based cuvée will continue maturing nicely through at least 2026. Cellar Selection. -  Jim Gordon-Wine Enthusiast

Full-bodied and appealingly decadent, this sparkler is a bounty of rich lemon tart, fresh ginger and hazelnut brioche flavors, yet never loses track of its lively core of acidity. Drink now through 2025. —T.F., Wine Spectator
