Reviews and Ratings

Matt Steeves - Certified Sommelier rated this wine as 93/100 with the following review:

A Blanc de Noirs made from Carneros Pinot Noir that produces such a beautiful light copper colour, it's absolutely stunning in the glass! The seductive nose pulls you in with intense mierality, gun flint, apple, brioche, and lees. A gorgeous traditional method sparkling wine from sunny California. Highly recommended! Tasted September 2015. 93 points. Matt Steeves - www.quercusvino.ca
Carolyn Hetke rated this wine as 92/100 with the following review:

The fine mousse and liveliness of this sparkling wine in the glass are harbingers of the delights to come. Toasty notes with golden apple abound on the nose and palate. There is a tautness that a focuses the nose and palate. Beautifully structured and balanced. A delight to enjoy on its own or with pastries and canapés. Tasted April 2019.
Blanc de Noirs is always elegant and this sparkler from Carneros does not disappoint. Gloria Ferrer is a light, bright and elegant Californian Blanc de Noirs -- a perfect summer sipper or to serve with chilled, fresh seafood. Made in Méthode Traditionnelle as in Champagne, these grapes are grown in the cool climate of Carneros. Gloria Ferrer non-vintage sparkling wine is a blend of 92% Pinot Noir with 8% Chardonnay grapes. - Community Wine Reviews
