2002 Gloria Ferrer Royal Cuvée

While we were tasting outside on the patio at Gloria Ferrer, our host brought out a complimentary tasting of their 2002 Royal Cuvée Brut.  Because I always focus on the Brut Rosé at Gloria Ferrer I miss out on their other sparkling wines.  It's been some time since we did a full tasting of all their varietals (sparkling and still wines) so the Royal Cuvée was a pleasant surprise.  The citrus and apple flavor as well as the looong finish won me over.  Tasting notes and more info can be found here.
