Gloria Ferrer Brut Royal Cuvee 2002 This exceptional Sparkling Wine was produced from the first press of hand harvested and gently pressed grapes from the Carneros region. The Brut Royal Cuvee was created in honor of King Juan Carlos I and Queen Sophia of Spain on their first visit to Northern California.
The 2002 vintage is another winner. It's a blend of two-thirds Pinot Noir and one-third Chardonnay. Enjoy full flavors of citrus, ripe apple, spice and toast. This well balanced wine has a delightful long finish.
