Description

Dominated by Pinot Noir; delicate pear and floral notes backed by toasty almond Grapes: 88% Pinot Noir; 12% Chardonnay.

Winemaker Notes

This Sonoma Brut sparkling wine is dominated by Pinot Noir, a stylistic decision enabling the complex aromatic and palate profile that this red-skinned grape contributes to brut cuvées. Delicate pear and floral notes are backed by toasty almond. On the palate, lively citrus, toast and apple flavors are overlaid with persistent effervescence, a creamy mid-palate and a toasty finish. Blend: 88% Pinot Noir, 12% Chardonnay

    Vibrant and expressive, with lively apple and cinnamon brioche aromas leading to elegantly complex piecrust, strawberry and spice flavors that linger. Drink now.

    A rich, exuberant nose of apple and sea spray leads to a steely palate built up by nervy, focused acidity. Accents of oyster shell and earth permeate the midpalate in this Pinot Noir-dominant sparkler.

    COMMENTARY: The Gloria Ferrer Sonoma Brut deftly highlights the gentleness of wines made from the Carneros AVA. TASTING NOTES: This wine exhibits active beads in its appearance, followed by aromas and flavors of ripe apple and savory spices. Enjoy it with roast chicken in fresh pasta and a creamy sauce.
