Phifer Pavitt Reserve Sparkling 2020
2020, Napa Valley, California, USA
Profile & Story
Phifer Pavitt began with Date Night. After marrying in 1998, Suzanne and Shane Pavitt created a weekly tradition: once a week, typically over a bottle of wine or bourbon, they would voice their hopes, fears, wants and wishes. Every big decision since has been made on Date Night - including the decision to buy a 23-acre plot in Calistoga, at the northern end of Napa Valley. They planted the vineyards by hand, rooted themselves in a farming community and started a family. The estate farms with sustainability as its compass and holds Napa Green Certification, with an Eco Barn, butterfly garden and regenerative farming practices. Reserve Sparkling is the estate's top sparkling bottling, labelled Napa Valley and released in 750ml.
Tasting Notes
This wine captures the essence of elegance and precision with its extremely dry profile. The effervescence dances delicately on the palate, enhancing the bright acidity that invigorates the senses. Aromas of lemon peel and honeysuckle, layered with hints of tangerine oil and white flowers. The subtle notes of almonds provide a nutty richness, while the toasted elements introduce a warming depth, reminiscent of freshly baked pastries. Perfect for celebrations or enjoying moments of tranquility.
