Schramsberg 2005 Brut Sparkling (Napa Valley)

Country: US / Brut
Variety: Sparkling Blend California
Winery: Schramsberg / Napa Valley

This is one of the greatest Carneros sparkling wines in memory. It feels softly crisp and creamy in the mouth, with brilliant, complex flavors of limes, raspberries and vanilla, and yeasty, oak influenced notes of brioche. There’s a richness throughout that’s hard to put into words, but the palate understands.
