A light pink color leads to fresh aromas of raspberries and strawberries before the sip reveals equally fruity and nicely crisp flavors buoyed by fine-grained bubbles. The wine, blended from 70% Pinot Noir and 30% Chardonnay, is quite flavorful and well-balanced. — Jim Gordon

Winemaker Notes

Our 2019 sparkling wine is a cuveé of Pinot Noir and Chardonnay fruit. Delicate, fine beads rise-up through your glass as the wine is poured. Fragrant aromas of hibiscus flower, red- sour cherry and a touch of watermelon rim are complemented with fresh brioche bread and mandarin citrus notes. On the palate, mandarin and kumquat, citrus fruit, a touch of wet stone minerality and light cherry flavors are balanced with Sonoma-Cutrer’s signature acidity. This sparkler is a perfect pairing with goat cheese, fruit tarts or fresh oysters with salmon caviar.
