The newly-released 2004 Gloria Ferrer Carneros Cuvée is a lively blend of 53% Pinot Noir and 47% Chardonnay. I spent a full day touring the facility and estate vineyards and was impressed by the care and labor that goes in to crafting their sparkling wines. The 2004 displays ripe red fruit and pleasing biscuit notes held aloft in a creamy stream of bubbles. On the palate, it's fresh and vibrant, I'd love to revisit this after its had time to further develop. 12.5% ABV | Sample

Notes of almond, biscuit, saltines, and other bread help strengthen the complexity of this zesty lemony California sparkling wine

Pale gold. Delicate, sweet smell, honey and pear. Pear and citrus taste...and maybe honeysuckle. Very light and crisp. I tried this at Gloria Ferrer a few years ago and it's still just a lovely as it was then.

This was good. Almonds. Brioche. Tons of bubbles (duh). Maybe a little sweeter than my liking. But a very solid CA bubbly.
