2011 Schramsberg Blanc de Noirs

The 2011 Blanc de Noir, 89% Pinot Noir and 11% Chardonnay, has seen 32% barrel fermentation. The wine shows notes of honeysuckle, crisp and poached pears, zesty acids and a broad, round, juicy mouthfeel. The Pinot Noir certainly gives it more body and maybe even some structure that's apparent in the mouth.
