Windvane Carneros Pinot Noir

Garnet red in colour. The bouquet opens with fresh aromas of bay and sage balanced with cinnamon and allspice. The palate has tart acidity, which softens over time, while the back of the palate is filled with a lush fruitiness. You’ll also discover black cherry, ripe plum, and cranberry notes before the lingering finish.

José Ferrer championed his family’s dream of producing exceptional traditional method sparkling wine in the New World. In the 1980s, he ventured from Barcelona, Spain to Sonoma, California with his wife Gloria in search of the ultimate region to make sparkling wine. They settled upon Carneros. For the Ferrers, whose Spanish sparkling winegrowing experience goes back generations, the potential of Los Carneros was unmistakable, even before it became an established AVA. They recognized the ideal climate for Pinot Noir and Chardonnay — and thus the perfect terroir for brilliant sparkling wines. Inspired by a centuries-old understanding of the balance between earth and wine, we pursue winegrowing with a respect for each vine and for each person in our extended family. Gloria Ferrer Caves & Vineyards implemented the Code of Sustainable Winegrowing Practices and became certified in 2016. We are committed to sustainability practices.
