2021 Villa Jericho Brut Napa Valley

$80.00

This 2021 Napa Valley brut sparkling wine presents a pale straw color with persistent, fine bubbles. The nose opens with crisp green apple and lemon zest, complemented by subtle notes of brioche and fresh-baked bread, hinting at its time on the lees.

On the palate, it’s refreshingly dry with vibrant acidity. Flavors of Granny Smith apple and Bosc pear dominate, accompanied by citrus notes of Meyer lemon and a touch of white grapefruit. There’s a delicate minerality reminiscent of wet stones, adding complexity and depth.

The wine’s structure is elegant and well-balanced, with the fruit harmoniously integrated with the yeasty, biscuity notes from secondary fermentation. The mousse is creamy yet lively, leading to a clean, lingering finish with a hint of toasted almond.
