WTN: NV Mumm Napa Valley Cuvee M

[djsexyb]

My brother got married this weekend, i was the best man. we got a party trolley to take the bridal party from the church to pictures, to the reception and basically downed whatever was in sight, including LOTS of this sparkling wine, one of my sister in law's favorite. although its hard to do a complex tasting in a bus full of 20 screaming people, drinking from plastic champagne flutes this is what i got...

NV Mumm Napa Valley Cuvee M

A very fine consistent stream of small bubbles rises very gently from the glass. the nose has gentle pear and white stone fruits, namely white peach, and perhaps a little honey. This cuvee was bone dry and tasted of pear, light peach, and a slight hint of strawberry, minus the sweetness you associate strawberries with. The end was a bit unbalanched with the fruit tones being eagerly overtaken by yeast and brioche, but all in all a nice value sparkler.
