Mumm Napa Blanc de Blanc 2006

Mumm Napa Blanc de Blanc 2006 (search item no. 110752) Wine Enthusiast rating: 93 points PRICE ON 5/21/2013: $19.99 ratings pedigree (past vintages): 2007 Wine Spectator rating: 91 points

Winemaker's Notes: Blanc de Blancs translates from French to mean white wine from white grapes. Our Blanc de Blancs is a unique sparkling wine blend combining the traditional Chardonnay grape with Pinot Gris. The Chardonnay provides a crisp acidity and fresh citrus notes, while Pinot Gris rounds out the mouth with stone fruit flavors and rich spicy tones. Extended aging, coupled with the outstanding fruit flavors of Napa Valley produces an elegant sparkling wine that perfectly expresses Mumm Napa: traditional techniques and contemporary Napa Valley winemaking.
