Schramsberg Brut Blanc de Blancs North Coast 2021

95 points Wine Enthusiast: "It is the 57th bottling of these bubbles. I hope you pick one up to enjoy. This wine is bright, with aromas of Golden Delicious apple, orange blossom, acacia honey and mineral on the nose. Flavors are of baked Bosc pear, mandarin orange, fresh walnut, toasted brioche and kaffir lime. The wine offers a subtle, creamy mousse, with a long, lifted and dry finish. (Nov 2024)"

91 points Wine Spectator: "[$44 list] Fragrant and refreshing, this sleek version offers appealing flavors of green apple, Meyer lemon and yeast roll. Finishes bright, with acidity. Drink now. (12/15/24)"
