Pale lemon color this blend of Pinot Noir and Chardonnay shows stone fruit and citrus aromas. On the palate pear, apple and tropical citrus flavors with some vanilla spice, good bubble flow and mousse. Fine acidity, nice structure and balance this crisp wine had a medium+ finish. Good value! Tasting a sample!

January Wednesday Wine Committees are always a great as the red wines are required to be 11yrs old, making all of the reds 2008 vintage. 1 sparkler, 2 whites, 4 reds and 1 dessert wine were served today, all blind.
My guess here was Cali sparkler. Larger size bubbles, and I didn’t get any limestone or chalk. Good notes of yeast, but the finish seemed a tad hollow. Some guessed this was an older bottle that had been cellared for a while.

Sep 21st, 2018Had not tasted a CA Mumm in a few years. Light golden color this blend of Pinot Noir and Chardonnay shows stone fruit and citrus aromas. The vibrant bubble palate had pear, sweet apple and tropical citrus flavors noting some vanilla spice. Fine acidity, nice structure and balance this crisp wine had a medium+ lingering finish. Good value!
