#5 Wine Enthusiast Top 100 of 2020

This perfect introduction to Paula Kornell’s sparkling wines has all the elegance, refinement,and freshness that one would expect from the best bubbles. Its racy acidity makes the wine lively and refreshing, while the small amount of residual sugar gives the wine weight and depth alongside the aromas of lemon pith, fresh peaches, just-ripe apricots, toast, acacia, and honeysuckle.

Ideal for a Sunday afternoon in the garden, a weekend picnic, or at the beginning of a meal, this approachable and highly drinkable wine will satisfy all tastes.

Blend: 80% Chardonnay, 20% Pinot Noir

    This inaugural release is stunning and incredibly impressive—a wine well worth stocking up on for the price and quality. A beautiful jasmine aroma leads to marzipan, peach and cherry flavors as lively acidity envelopes the palate. It’s a blend of 80% Chardonnay and 20% Pinot Noir.

    Sprightly nose, supple texture: It's a winning combination for this traditionalmethod blend of 80% Chardonnay and 20% Pinot Noir, in which zingy aromas of toast, orchard fruit, and honey encounter flavors of stillripening stone fruit, midpal ate stoniness, and backend hints of lemon meringue and lemongrass

     Appealing for its fresh apple and raspberry flavors, which are accented by brioche and spice. Drink now.

Her home is open and easy going reflecting her own personal style, with flowers from thegarden on the table, homemade jam in the larder, and rescue dogs and chickens all around. Each glass she pours her guests is a celebration of the everyday beauty and bounty of Napa Valley. Every note she signs lovingly “with sparkles”. The launch of her own wine brand follows Paula’s 30 plus years’ experience in the wine industry. Her passion for her father’s wines as well as for those of Napa Valley have inspired her to bring Napa’s historic past back to life through her own label.

California enjoys a long history and proven reputation as an admirable source of sparkling wines. Agoston Haraszthy, who established Buena Vista Winery in the mid 1850s, first attempted to make traditional method sparkling wine in California in the 1870s. Shortly thereafter Korbel followed, and with great success. Today domestic producers such as Schramsberg, Iron Horse and J. Wine Co remain at the forefront of the market.

Since the 1970s the state has consistently attracted the attention and investment of large and respected European and French-based firms who are responsible for Domaine Chandon, Mumm-Napa Valley, Roederer Estate and Domaine Carneros (Taittinger), to name a few. Anderson Valley and Carneros remain standout regions for top quality Pinot noir and Chardonnay for these.
