Mumm Napa 2000 DVX Sparkling (Napa Valley)
- $55
An hommage to the winery’s late, great winemaker, Guy Devaux, Mumm’s vintage-dated DVX is their tête de cuvée, a selection of the finest lots of grapes which are then given white glove treatment. The 2000 is a worthy successor to its predecessors, rich, smooth and dramatic. It has the silky finesse of great Champagne, with charming lime, raspberry, vanilla and…

Mumm Napa 2001 DVX Sparkling (Napa Valley)
- $55
A gorgeous, Champagne-like sparkling wine. As good as the 2000, it’s rich and silky, with a very fine mousse and rich citrus and yeast flavors. Needs time. Give it at least five or six years in the bottle, if you can keep your hands off.

Mumm Napa 2002 DVX Sparkling (Napa Valley)
- Editors' Choice
- $55
DVX is Mumm Napa’s top of the line vintage bottling. This ’02 is a 50-50 blend of Pinot Noir and Chardonnay, making it a brut. It’s very high in acidity, and the bubbles are tiny and refined, giving it the ultra-smooth mouthfeel you want in a superior sparkling wine. The raspberry, lime and pear flavors are rich, but subtle, reined in by yeastiness and a tangy…

Delicious sparkling wine, dry, crisp and elegant. The bubbles are really tiny, giving the wine a silky mouthfeel, while the flavors are forward in raspberries and cherries, with a yeasty tang. As dry as the wine is, it shows a rich vein of honey on the finish. Drink now through 2010.

Mumm Napa 2006 Blanc de Blancs Sparkling (Napa Valley)
- $30
Made from 90% Chardonnay and 10% Pinot Gris, this lovely Blanc de Blancs brims with vanilla cream, lime and pear aromas and flavors, with the yeasty, baked bread dough toastiness that mark the best sparkling wines. It’s basically dry and quite high in acidity, which gives it a brisk, clean finish. Drink this fine bubbly now and for the next 6–8 years.

Mumm Napa 1999 DVX Sparkling (Napa Valley)
- $45
Just beautiful, one of the best DVXs ever. The vintage gave this Pinot Noir and Chardonnay blend great ripeness to go with elegant balance. The flavors are enormously complex, offering swirls of brioche, citrus zest, vanilla, roasted almond skin, toasted coconut and raspberry purée, and the finish is refreshingly crisp and dry, yet also slightly honeyed. Feels…

Mumm Napa NV Brut Rosé Sparkling (Napa Valley)
- Editors' Choice

What a roll Mumm Napa is on with their new releases. This blush wine shows the level of richness and elegance the winery has achieved lately. Made from 85% Pinot Noir and 15% Chardonnay, it has deliciously forward flavors of raspberries, strawberries, gingersnap cookies and vanilla lemon custard, with the bubbly froth and tart yeastiness of a fine sparkling wine.

Mumm Napa NV Brut Prestige Sparkling (Napa Valley)
- Editors' Choice
- $20
Assembled from dozens of individual lots, this sumptuous brut is an example of the art of blending. Based on Pinot Noir and Chardonnay, it’s really as delicious and refined a sparkling wine as you could want for drinking now. Shows lush citrus, strawberry, honey, melon, fig and spice flavors that are wrapped into a smooth, silky bubbling mouthfeel.
