Mumm Napa Prestige Cuvée (75cl, 12.5%)

A méthode champenoise sparkling wine from Napa Valley, California, made by Mumm Napa. It is a non-vintage Brut cuvée blended from 49% Pinot Noir, 46% Chardonnay, 4% Pinot Gris and 1% Pinot Meunier, with much of the fruit sourced from the estate's Devaux Ranch Vineyard in the Carneros AVA. The wine spends an average of 16 months ageing on the lees. The nose opens with red apple and fresh cherry, then orange blossom and warm, yeasty fresh-baked bread, with a subtle floral lift. The palate moves from plum and cherry to ripe peach and grapefruit zest, with toasty brioche and gentle nuttiness as the mousse softens. The finish is crisp, with green apple, fresh lemon, mineral undertones and honey-baked brioche.
