94 points, The Somm Journal:
Back in 1967, Schramsberg became the first American winery to produce a blanc de noirs, and that legacy shows in the effortless elegance of the current vintage, composed of 86% Pinot Noir and 14% Chardonnay primarily from Sonoma. For all its expressiveness, the yeasty nose of apples in cream, nectarine, almond, and honeysuckle also has a mineral cleanness; likewise on the complex palate, it’s somehow both richly textured and balletic, skipping from apricot, white peach, and more apple to lemon zest and strawberry to young mango with a touch of white pepper and vanilla before the lovely, lasting finish.
