May 31, 2023 - Creamy richness of this wine is followed by aromas of plum, peaches, tangerine, and red pear. On the palate, the wine is soft and round, with a persistent mousse and rich fruit, leading to a. lovely, toasty, baked bread finish.
December 25, 2022 - Good wine, still plenty of life left. Nutty and biscuit flavor, with a soft fruitiness as it coats the mouth.
June 5, 2022 - Mom’s birthday
May 2, 2022 - Apples and hint of pears on palate, hints of pears on nose, the bubbles are the plentiful , very fine and long lasting. Palate is a near perfect balance of dryness, minerality and very light fruitiness. Delicious with pasta, broccolini in a light lemon sauce. Always a lovely experience with this bubbly.
December 18, 2021 - Dry and delicious, great in mimosas with Eggs Benedict this morning!
February 25, 2021 - Virtual tasting with Mumm and Carlos Santana
February 13, 2021 - Outstanding flavor. Very dry. Excellent sparkling.
December 31, 2020 - Purchased this bottle in Napa in May of 2014 and kept in my cellar.
Straw color. This has, quite frankly, evolved really nicely. Both my wife and I were not fans of this upon release but after 7 years, this was quite lovely (and I would say the same thing of the Deveaux Ranch releases from Mumm Napa). On the nose quite surprisingly, notes of petrol, almond paste, apples, match stick, apricots, pear, and a savoryness. On the palate, this had medium plus body, medium acidity, almonds, red apples, apricots, honey, and grapefruit. Overall, I really liked this.
July 15, 2017 - Pale/steely straw color. Strawberry, peach, lemon meringue with a hint of green apple in the nose. Loads of red apple followed with orange blossom and cherry. Long finish with citrus but not puckery.
