Absolutely delicious. Sweet strawberry notes, with background yeast and mineral accents to keep it from being simple. I’ve had DVXs that had more depth and challenged me more, but this was just pure pleasure. Had it with mild Thai food, which was a good pairing.

Subtlety floral nose; mid-palate of pink grapefruit and orange peel. Faint melon characteristic. Some apricot, verging on dragon fruit towards the finish. Lively bubbles that exceed more recent NVs. Went quite well with crustless cheesecake.

Perhaps my favorite in a lineup of Mumm Napa sparklers I've tasted over the past few months, the 2009 DVX Rosé is alive with aromas of macerated strawberry, red apple skins and a really nice though quite subtle earthiness. A 50/50 blend of Chardonnay and Pinot Noir, the DVX spends four years en tirage, and yields assertive bubbles, inlaid against tart red berries. It's nicely offset by creaminess that fleshes out the center, gently dwindling to dried apricot notes on the finish. 12.5% ABV | Sample

Nice! Soft strawberry, cantaloupe, and cranberry notes.
