A Word From Our Winemaker
Greetings Mumm Napa family,
It feels like we were just wrapping up harvest and relishing the summer sun and suddenly the holidays are upon us. I’m enjoying the change in the weather and planning ahead to holiday baking and meal planning. At the winery, we’re starting to evaluate the wines from this vintage and planning our blend trials. I’m loving the bright fruit flavors and acidity in this year’s wines!
We’re very excited to share a special wine with you in this shipment: an Extended Tirage release of our 2016 DVX, showcasing 9 years of yeast aging. The original release of the 2016 DVX showed a beautiful toastiness and weight; and three additional years on the yeast took these characters to another level. This wine will elevate any holiday or milestone celebration, and we hope you enjoy it!
We’ve also tucked a new bouchon into your shipment. I feel like I can never have enough of these! I can never have too many of these! On those evenings when I only want a glass of bubbles, I can close the bottle and know that the wine will still sparkle the next day. It’s also a perfect add-on to your favorite bottle of sparkling wine for a thoughtful host or holiday gift. I hope you enjoy it along with your new sparkling wines – and most importantly, I wish all you a wonderful holiday season!
Cheers!
Tami
Head Winemaker
