Sparkling wine is a relatively new thing for Sonoma-Cutrer, although a logical extension of its expertise with Chardonnay and Pinot Noir. The Grand Cuvee from this vintage is Chardonnay dominant, showing notes of crunch apple and spice, with a firm structure and beautiful mousse. A Platinum Award winner at the 2018 Sommelier Challenge International Wine & Spirits Competition.
