<p>2006 BLANC DE NOIRS Blanc de Noirs (white from black) is the counterpart of Blanc de Blancs (white from white). Made at Schramsberg from the red wine grape Pinot Noir, this is a delicious, fruitful, full-bodied sparkling wine. Schramsberg pioneered the Blanc de Noirs style in the United States, releasing the first such American sparkler in 1967. Blanc de Noirs presents layers of roasted almond, caramel, cherry and spice. The wine is especially appealing with lighter meats such as veal and pork tenderloin, caviar and smoked fish, risotto with chanterelles and vegetables, or cheese soufflés. </p>
<p>2006 Tasting Notes<br />“The mild spring and summer weather of 2006 led to a very late harvest for us,<br />beginning on August 25. The long growing season produced a fruit forward Blanc<br />de Noirs, delivering generous aromas of strawberry, apple, and lime, followed<br />with hints of spiced orange, cinnamon, and toasted hazelnut. Red apple and baked pineapple flavors give way to mid-palate notes of strawberry yogurt and brown sugar, leading to a zesty, crisp finish. This lively sparkling wine will retain its fruitful character and mature gracefully for many years to come.”<br />– Winemakers Hugh Davies and Keith Hock<br />Varietal Composition: 90% Pinot Noir, 10% Chardonnay<br />County Composition: 56% Mendocino, 20% Sonoma, 18% Napa, 6% Marin<br />Harvest Dates: August 25- October 30, 2006<br />Barrel Fermentation: 23%<br />Alcohol: 13.2%<br />TA: 0.82 g/100ml<br />pH: 3.03<br />RS: 1.17 g/100ml<br />Release Date: January 1, 2009<br />9L Cases Produced: 14,166<br />Suggested Retail: $38</p>
