This 2003 is delicious. Lots of life and very small bubbles.check the honey color . No oxidation yet . Some fruit but lots of secondary flavors. Like walking by a bakery. I think I will rejoin the Schramsberg club. A big 👍

Congrats Philly! You all get next year & most others New England.
The 2003 Reserve has youthful aromas of red apple and juicy pear, which is followed by Rainer cherry. The fruit is accentuated by holiday spices, such as nutmeg and clove, as well as warm pie crust. Upon first taste there is generous fruit flavors of Satsuma orange, candied pineapple and strawberry, in addition to some peach. The palate is elegant and concentrated, with a quenching acidity and a long and lingering finish.
Varietal Composition: 75% Pinot Noir, 25% Chardonnay
Barrel Fermentation: 40%
Alcohol: 12.7%
Suggested Retail: $150
But actually probably paid closer to under $100 with the Riddlers Club shipment and discounts.
Honestly it was so good and the last 2 weeks were so gnarly I ended up drinking the whole bottle on Friday afternoon.

Nothing says "Cheers" like champagne! Or in this case, sparkling wine. Golden color, red apple and smooth texture.
