Making great sparkling wine is extremely difficult, but Schramsberg has managed to excel in the category. It can go head-to-head with great Champagne.
We've witnessed it ourselves. In 2007, we participated in a blind tasting of sparklers, which included all the big tête de cuvées. The Schramsberg was selected by more than a few people for wine of the night.
Obviously, our heart lies within Champagne, but the quality that Schramsberg Blanc de Blancs delivers for the price is hard to deny - it qualitatively drinks like Champagnes twice its price. It's for this reason that we made this a Back Up The Truck offer.Â
Schramsberg is an important chapter in California winemaking history - it's a beautiful example of the trail-blazing spirit of American viniculture. In 1965, Jamie and Jack Davies set out to Napa from LA to do something no one else had done yet in America: they wanted to make great sparkling wines based on Champagne's grapes and Champagne's methods - secondary fermentation in bottle, aging the wines for several years before release, etc.
In no time at all, Schramsberg was realizing its goal - producing exemplary American sparkling wine. Their flagship Blanc de Blancs has made quite a name for itself over six decades of vintages - it has been used in some official capacity by every president since Nixon.
Perhaps the ultimate sign of Schramsberg's success was that French Champagne houses started to flock to California. Names like Moët & Chandon, Mumm, and Roederer now all have domestic sparkling wines in their portfolios.
While Schramsberg's 2023 Blanc de Blancs is perfect for the celebrations that will occur over the next couple of months, it's also a good move to pick up a few extra bottles. After a couple of years in the cellar, the wine will get richer, deeper, and more complex.
