Schramsberg Brut Mirabelle
| Description: | Winemaker Notes\r\nStylistically, Mirabelle Brut resembles some of its French cousins with its elegant, toasty aroma which leads into crisp and complex flavors on the palate. It is impossible to mistake Mirabelle's Northern California heritage - the freshness mid-palate continues through to the finish. Mirabelle Brut is a unique blend of hand-harvested bunches of Napa, Sonoma and Mendocino county Pinot Noir and Chardonnay. Mirabelle pairs well with shellfish, light appetizers or hearty, vegetable-based soups.\r\nThe non-vintage Mirabelle combines the bright, vibrant fruit of the 2002 vintage with the equally dynamic wines of vintages past. Complete with a green apple and jasmine fragrance, filled out by tropical fruit notes, the aromas merrily greet you from the glass. The bright citrus entry on the palate gives way to subtle honey and caramel, with just a hint of fresh cream to balance the zesty acid. Mirabelle, as ever, demonstrates the illustrious combination of yesterday and today, with age enhancing youth and freshness complimenting the more complex characters.\r\nWine Enthusiast 90 Points\r\nWine Spectator 90 Points\r\nAbout Schramsberg\r\nSchramsberg\u2019s history dates back to the 19th century, when German immigrant Jacob Schram first made his home and started his winery on Diamond Mountain.\r\nOver one hundred years later Jack and Jamie Davies would restore the Schramsberg estate in 1965.\u00a0They set out to produce sparkling wine \u2013 specifically, \u201cAmerica\u2019s most prestigious, select and admired sparkling wine; chosen for special guests, special gifts, pampering one\u2019s self and expressing one\u2019s taste in unique products.\u201d\u00a0Through the decades, this spirit of innovation earned Schramsberg and the Davies worldwide praise and recognition.\r\nSchramsberg has also played a role in world history.
