Flight 2 (2 Notes)

  • NV Mumm Napa Sparkling Pinot Noir 89 Points

    USA, California, Napa Valley

    Carmine with stream of tiny pin point bubbles, and fresh bread dough, cherry aromas. On the palate dry brut style, medium-bodied, with enough tannins to make it interesting, with ripe plum and cherry flavors, and a medium finish. 100% Pinot Noir. I really enjoyed this one. I'm looking forward to having for Thanksgiving!
