Winemaker tasting notes

Nose: “Our 2016 J. Schram Blancs has generous aromas of baked apple, brioche toast, lemon curd, and ripe pear, with layers of pineapple upside-down cake, honey, and spiced citrus.”

Palate: “The palate presents flavors of creme brulee, baked pear, and almond paste, anchored by a bright, juicy center that carries through to a long-lasting, vibrant finish.”
