California’s Answer to Champagne

Schramsberg is the most iconic sparkling wine producer in the United States. Their wines are unquestionably the best in class, and channel the great maisons of Champagne in a uniquely generous California style.

The 2016 Schramsberg Vineyards Blanc de Blancs Brut North Coast California is a pure-Chardonnay stunner with aromas of ripe Asian pears, white peaches, and lemon meringue that prepare the palate for crisp, taut flavors of apples, pears, and citrus zest, all of it lifted by hints of white flowers and baking spice.

When Jack and Jamie Davies revived the historic Jacob Schram vineyard and cellars in 1965, they had one goal in mind: To prove that world-class sparkling wines could be produced in California.

They succeeded beyond their wildest dreams, and Schramsberg is often mentioned in the same breath as the most famous houses of Champagne. In 1972, President Richard Nixon even served it for the historic “Toast to Peace” in Beijing, China. Robert Parker has said that the quality of their sparkling wines “seems to be going from strength to strength.”

The 2016 Blanc de Blancs is proof. It’s sourced from top vineyards in Napa, Sonoma, and Marin Counties, given added depth with the addition of tiny lots of barrel-fermented Chardonnay, and then aged on the lees for more than two years.

The result is a wine that’s incredible on its own as an aperitif and a perfect pairing partner for shellfish, grilled fish, ceviche, and oysters. The Blanc de Blancs was the first sparkling wine that Jack and Jamie Davies made back in 1965. Today, with their son Hugh Davies at the helm, it’s as delicious as ever. This is the ideal sparkling wine to stock up on as the weather turns warmer.
