Mumm Napa Valley Brut Prestige
The naturally ripened fruit selected from more than 50 separate vineyards yields a beautiful rose petal aroma. Further layers reveal crisp yet creamy qualities, rich and lingering. Individual lots are kept separate during initial fermentation in order to highlight their vineyard differences and make the most of their specific strengths. The end result is a hugely popular, award winning wine with touches of vanilla and melon, with firm acid and crisp structure. Medium bodied, with excellent mousse and a rich lingering finish, it pairs beautifully with grilled poultry, shellfish such as oysters, prawns and mussels, as well as brioche with portobello mushrooms. Wine Spectator This California sparkling wine is quite a value at this price and score. It's bright and tangy, with a core of lemon and lime flavors that fan out on the palate to yield a toasty, fresh finish with hints of apple and pear. Drink now. 180,000 cases made. Score: 88. October 15, 1999.Wine Enthusiast An interesting blend of Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, Pinot Meunier and Pinot Gris, this bubbly shows complex flavors of bread dough, yellow citrus fruits and wildflowers, but is subtle and dry. One of the nicer things is the mouthfeel, which is light and refined. Finishes with real elegance. Production is an amazing 300,000 cases. Score: 87. —Steve Heimoff, December 31, 2006. |
