NV Gloria Ferrer Brut Sonoma County

Top 100: 2009, Rank: 78 - Lively and fun to drink, with creamy Asian pear and citrus aromas that lead to crisp, easygoing apple, yeasty cinnamon and mineral flavors. 103,000 cases made. ?TF Review Date: November 2009

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.
