This is the first blanc de noirs released by Falconer Wine Cellars. The grapes for this cuvée were harvested from a vineyard in the cool Carneros district of Sonoma County. Slightly more than half was barrel-fermented in old French Oak and the balance in a stainless steel tank. After a secondary fermentation, the wine was bottle fermented.

This sparkling wine was finished in an "ultra brut" style with just .6% residual sugar. The result is a sparkler that is crispy dry and yet fills the mouth with flavors of ripe pear and almond. Its nose is a mixture of strawberry, biscuit dough, and cashew nut.

Just three months after disgorging, it was awarded a "highly recommended" raiting by Beverage Tasting Institute as the highest rated Blanc de Noirs in that year's competition.

This sparkling wine is equally at home as an aperitif or on the dinner table. It complements salmon, shellfish, crab, and lobster.
