Greg Hughes rated this wine as 91/100 with the following review:

The gold standard for California sparklings, and certainly well priced. These folks have connections to the historic family that founded Freixenet. They put a strong emphasis in growing quality Pinot Noir and they are one of the wineries that helped solidify Carneros reputation in producing the notoriously fickle grape.
Delicate lemon yellow with a very nice, fine mousse. Brioche and biscuit dough on the nose, with plenty of ripe citrus and tart mack apple.
Lots of lively acidity and persistent bubbles. Flavours of lemon scone, zest, honey, tangerine, fuji apple, and guava.
Gwen Barton rated this wine as 91/100 with the following review:

Toasty nose with hints of apple, strawberry and citrus zest. Rich in flavour. Prepared in the traditional method with pinot noir and chardonnay grapes. Bubbles galore with long lasting creaminess. Ready to open and enjoy anytime!




Natalie's Review

Gloria Ferrer Sonoma Brut, Sonoma County, California, United States: One of my favourite Californian sparkling wines year after year. This one isn't vintage dated. Toasty and fresh at a great price. Don't limit yourself to pre-dinner toasts and New Year's Eve with this terrific bubbly: drink it throughout the meal and throughout the year. In fact, why not make a resolution to do so now? Pair with fried fish, oysters and other shellfish. Drink: 2019-2024. 192898 12.50% XD 750 mL  $36.35 Score: 92/100. April 15, 2021 Best Value Sparkling Wine. Spectacular Spicy Wine  Full Review

Unquenchable by Natalie MacLean

Natalie MacLean is a new force in the wine writing world ‐ a feisty North American answer to Hugh Johnson and Jancis Robinson. She can write beautifully about wine.

The Financial Times of London

There are very few people in the wine world who "get it" and Natalie is one of those who brings more fun to a buttoned-up and stodgy game.
