Country: US / Blanc de Noirs
Variety: Sparkling Blend California
Winery: Mumm Napa / Napa Valley
Mostly Pinot Noir with some Chardonnay, this bubbly shows the pedigree of these two noble varieties in its balance and elegance. It has rich Champagne-like flavors of smoke, brioche, raspberry, lime and vanilla, and finishes dry and polished. This is a great price for a sparkling wine of this quality and sophistication.
