Mumm Cuvée Napa 1998 DVX Sparkling (Napa Valley)
- $45
A crowd pleasing sparkler for its intricate melange of Chardonnay and Pinot Noir flavors, rich moussy texture, crisp acids and just-right dosage. The cherry and lime flavors are edged with smoky vanilla honey and taste just great. Almost addictively good.

Mumm Cuvée Napa 1997 DVX Sparkling (Napa Valley)
- $45
Mumm’s top cuvée, and its most French in terms of smoothness and elegance. Smells beautiful, with delicate notes of peach, strawberry, roasted hazelnuts, smoke, vanilla and dough, and eases over the palate with a creamy grace. It’s pretty austere now, showing tart limes, but has the concentration and balance for aging.

Mumm Cuvée Napa 1996 DVX Sparkling (Napa Valley)
- $50
This prestige cuvee honors Guy Devaux, who founded the California winery, and takes the familiar, user-friendly house style to an unprecedented level of intensity. The concentrated, beguiling nose suggests cask-conditioned ale and freshly baked bread. The wine fills every corner of the palate with rich, seductively layered flavors. The finish says California, not…

Mumm Cuvée Napa NV Blanc de Noirs Sparkling (Napa Valley)
- $18
Almost a rose, and quite full-bodied, this rich wine brims with strawberry and cherry flavors and yeasty, bread dough notes. It’s very dry. Really easy to sip, and with layers of nuance and subtlety.

Mumm Cuvée Napa NV Reserve Brut Sparkling (Napa Valley)
- $25
The smoothest and suavest of Mumm’s current offerings, this fruit-forward bubbly has a slightly sweet dosage. Fortunately, it’s crisp in acidity. The peach, bread dough, vanilla and cherry flavors are delicious, with a long aftertaste.

Mumm Cuvée Napa 1997 Blanc de Blancs Sparkling (Napa Valley)
- $22
Quite rich for Mumm’s annual lineup, with citrus and melon flavors, maybe because a third of the blend is Pinot Gris. It’s fully dry, with a crisp mouthfeel and a yeasty finish. Light and elegant through the finish.

Mumm Cuvée Napa NV Brut Prestige Sparkling (Napa Valley)
- $18
Dry, crisp and tart in acids, this bubbly offers lots of pleasure. The subtle flavors of citrus fruits, strawberries, yeast and toasty vanilla drink a little rough in texture, but this is a good price for the quality.

Mumm Cuvée Napa NV Brut Prestige Sparkling (Napa Valley)
- $18
Nicely balanced with a blend of toasty-yeasty and fresh elements on the nose, this sparkler has good fruit—not too sweet—and a smooth and creamy feel. Straightforward, it offers full but dry apple-pineapple flavors and some green-apple and lime notes on the finish.
