Gloria Ferrer Description
Delicate pear and floral notes backed by toasty almond. On the palate, one finds lively citrus, toast and apple flavors overlaid with persistent effervescence, a creamy mid-palate and toasty finish. A tremendously versatile wine that is equally delicious with shellfish, crab, roasted chicken or sushi. Seasoning affinities include lemon grass, fennel and white pepper. Look to hard aged and triple creme cheeses with Meyer lemon compote for the cheese course.
Wine Enthusiast: 92 Points
Made from mostly Pinot Noir grapes, with an addition of 8.8% Chardonnay, this Méthode Champenoise wine is sultry in raspberry cream and crème brûlée, with enough acidity to keep it fresh in the glass. The finish offers a taste of toast with ginger jam.
Wine Spectator: 88 Points
Appealingly creamy and spicy aromas lead to balanced, succulent flavors of baked pear and Meyer lemon. Drink now. 87,000 cases made.
Wine Advocate: 87 Points
Their NV Sparkling Sonoma Brut, which is a Chardonnay/Pinot Noir blend and probably their largest production, has attractive notes of white currant, green apple and grapefruit in a fresh, straightforward, easygoing style. Drink it over the next several years.
