A Carneros Pinot Noir Pioneer. Back in the early 80’s there were only a handful of winegrowers planting Pinot Noir in Carneros. And yet, the Ferrer Family knew the key to a world-class méthode champenoise wine would be Pinot Noir. The Gloria Ferrer winemaking team’s quest for perfection takes them to Champagne where they manage to acquire Pinot Noir and Chardonnay clones. Gloria Ferrer is not only the first sparkling wine house in Sonoma Carneros, but also the first to plant Champagne clones and the first to plant in Carneros. Almost thirty years later, with 335 acres under vine, the estate vineyards at Gloria Ferrer produce Pinot Noir and Chardonnay that rival some of the world’s finest.
The nose of this pinot noir has black cherry, cedar and spice. The black cherry continues onto the palate with blackberry, pinot spice and some bramble. Substantial, yet smooth mouthfeel with some light sweet toasty oak. Carries a long finish of cherry and spice.
