Schramsberg 1994 Reserve (Napa Valley)

Country: US / Reserve
Variety: Champagne Blend California
Winery: Schramsberg / Napa Valley

Strives for Champagne in the deeply toasted, yeasty nose and complex texture and flavors, but in the end the fruit’s a little too forward, the wine a little too full-bodied for Champagne. But in its own right it’s delicious. You can taste the sweetness of sun-ripened grapes in a way only California can achieve.
