90 Points – The Drunken Cyclist

Our 2018 Mount Richmond Brut received an excellent 90-Point review at the Fifth Annual World’s Largest Blind Tasting of American Sparkling Wine by wine writer The Drunken Cyclist:

“This past week, I conducted another Blind Tasting at our humble little abode here in Houston, to which I invited other wine writers from the area. This month was the Fifth Annual World’s Largest Blind Tasting of American Sparkling Wine, which featured 49 (I really wanted to get to fifty, but alas…) sparkling wines from four states.

We tasted four wines at a time, taking notes on each wine, and focusing on general impressions and preferences.

Retail $70. 56% Pinot Noir, 44% Chardonnay. Straw to yellow with a fervent sparkle. A shy nose with some interesting notes of really tart lemon and lychee. The palate is tart, fruity, and lengthy. Nice. Excellent. 90 Points.” – The Drunken Cyclist

Want to know who else made the list? Read the full article BRUT-PART ONE which features the first 15 wines and make sure to check out BRUT-PART TWO for a list of the last 14 wines tasted.
