Schramsberg unquestionably deserves to be known as “America’s House of Sparkling Wine.” In 1965, when Jack and Jamie Davies discovered it, Schramsberg was a historic but run-down winery that had been abandoned for years. They brought the property back to life and produced their first vintage, a Blanc de Blancs, that year. Today son Hugh is at the helm of this iconic enterprise. Made primarily from the red grape Pinot Noir, this is a complex, medium-bodied, brut sparkling wine. Schramsberg pioneered the Blanc de Noirs style in the United States, releasing the first such American sparkler in 1967. The key to producing this complex Blanc de Noirs is their focus on diverse cool-climate vineyards. Pinot Noir from Carneros and Anderson Valley combine with fruit from low-yielding Sonoma and Marin coastal vineyards to develop a sparkling wine with a breadth of fruitful aroma and flavor. Select Chardonnay lots give zest and backbone to the blend.
