Gloria Ferrer 1999 Carneros Cuvée Sparkling (Carneros)
- Editors' Choice
- $50
This late-disgorged wine has been released at the age of 11 years. It’s a beautiful wine, notable especially for the ultrafine feeling of the mousse, or bubbles. So refined and silky. Rich too are the flavors, in limes, strawberries, toasty lees and minerals. A spectacular sparkling wine that has many years of development ahead.

Gloria Ferrer 2000 Carneros Cuvée Sparkling (Carneros)
- $50
The winery held back this brut-style wine for eleven years. Even at this great age, the wine tastes young and vibrant in acidity, with rich strawberry, orange, lime and yeast flavors, finished with sweet vanilla. Tastes beautiful now, but extraordinary as it is, it should gain traction over the next ten years.

Gloria Ferrer 1997 Carneros Cuvée Sparkling (Carneros)
- Editors' Choice
- $50
This is the winery’s most expensive bottling, a late disgorged bubbly that has now seen a decade of age. It shows the elegant polish of the ’97 Royal Cuvée, but is superior even to it in richness. The creamy smoothness is the star attraction, but so are the subtle citrus, raspberry, brioche and vanilla flavors. Impeccably dry balance guarantees that this beautiful…

Gloria Ferrer 2007 Pinot Noir (Carneros)
- Online Exclusive
- $22
The first of Gloria’s 2007 Pinots to be released, and a promising allure to their future block bottlings. The wine is, in a word, superb. It has ripe raspberry, cherry and blackberry fruit, but also a wonderful earthiness of mushrooms, and the tannin-acid balance is near perfect. A gorgeous young wine to decant and enjoy now.

Gloria Ferrer 1996 Late Disgorged Brut Carneros Cuvee Sparkling (Carneros)
- $50
The winery’s priciest bubbly is easily its best, finessing the roughness of the lesser blends with a smoothness that glides across the palate like silk. It displays peaches and cream Chard flavor, and a wonderful balance and dryness. Finishes with classic Champagne elegance.

Gloria Ferrer 2000 Royal Cuvée Brut Sparkling (Carneros)
- $28
Royal Cuvée has turned into one of the most consistent buys in an upscale California bubbly, mainly due to the elegance that always marks the wine. The 2000, which is a classic blend of Pinot Noir and Chardonnay, shows the smoothness and complexity that mark fine sparkling wine, with subtle citrus, peach, raspberry, brioche and smoky vanilla flavors.

Gloria Ferrer 2004 Royal Cuvée Brut Sparkling (Carneros)

- $32
A beautiful sparkling wine, rich and refined in the mouth, with creamy flavors that show ripe, sweet California strawberries and limes. This bottling gets better and better with each new release.

Gloria Ferrer 2002 Royal Cuvée Sparkling (Sonoma County)
- $35
Gloria Ferrer holds this vintage brut back for many years before release, to the consumer’s benefit. The ’02 is rich and complex and beautiful now, although it has years remaining to its useful life. Shows flavors of limes, raspberries, brioche, tangerine zest, vanilla, yeasty bread dough and honeysuckle. An elegant, dry bubbly of enormous charm.
