Gloria Ferrer, Carneros (California) 2010

Here’s a treat from Gloria Ferrer that’s on a par with their Royal Cuvée and Carneros Cuvée bottlings.  After five and a half years on the lees, you’ve got a creamy texture, delicate brioche and pear aromas that translate to flavors beautifully and finish long with blossoming flavors and a nice green apple kiss on the end that will lead you right to the bottom of the bottle.  I don’t often drink when tasting to review a wine, but this one is an exception. Cheers!
