Sparkling Pinot Noir

Mumm Napa | Napa

Superb red sparkling wines are relatively rare. Achieving the correct balance between the depth and flavor of a full, complex red wine and the elegance associated with méthod traditionelle wines requires true talent. We have achieved this with the Sparkling Pinot Noir, a wine that first debuted to great acclaim at the Napa Valley Vintner’s Association Trade Barrel Auction in February 1997.

About This Wine

Each year, we ferment some of our Pinot Noir on the skins, with the purpose of making a red wine that will lend some of its color to our rosés. We ferment a little extra to blend this club favorite, our Sparkling Pinot Noir. We bottle ferment this red sparkling wine with a touch less sugar, resulting in a softer mousse, and age it on the lees for only a short time to really allow the fruit to take center stage.

Profile

This wine opens with rich, juicy notes of plum, blackberry, and black cherry. On the palate, a frothy mousse leads to powerful fruit characters of blueberry, plum, and blackberry jam with a hint of dark chocolate on the finish.

Occasions & Pairings

It’s a Mumm Napa tradition to serve this wine on Thanksgiving, uniting the diversity of flavors on the table. It’s also a great wine to serve for Sunday football watch parties.
