WINE ENTHUSIAST: 92 Point Score Received
This medium-bodied sparkling is boosted by its creamy backbone and persistent mousse. Excellent acidity brings fruits and florals to life. Find notes of lemon, lime, green apple, white peach and peach skin, orange pith, toasted bread, raw almond, baby's breath and potpourri. The finish is long, lingering. — Stacy Briscoe
Paula Kornell Sparkling Wines
The Paula Kornell Sparkling California Brut made its debut in 2017 and soon earned the #5 spot in Wine Enthusiast’s Top Wines of 2020. Made predominantly from Chardonnay with a percentage of Pinot Noir, the grapes that go into the wine are certified sustainable.
Pair it with my Napa Valley Blanc de Noirs from Mitsuko’s Vineyard, a blend of 70% Pinot Noir and 30% Chardonnay, awarded 90 points recently from wine critic Lisa Perrotti-Brown in The Wine Independent, who said, "the palate has impressive vivacity with fine, frothy bubbles."
