The 2021 Blanc de Noirs from Cruse Wine Co. is a rare sparkling wine from the renowned Heintz Vineyard in Sonoma. Planted in 1980 near Sebastopol, this coastal site benefits from Goldridge soils and strong Pacific influence. As a result, the fruit develops freshness, precision, and mineral tension that define this wine.
Michael Cruse crafted this Blanc de Noirs using the traditional method. He is known for a distinct and thoughtful approach, focusing on site expression and balance. Therefore, this wine shows both structure and character, setting it apart from more conventional sparkling wines.
On the nose, this Sonoma Blanc de Noirs opens with aromas of strawberry shortbread and sweet tarts. In addition, a subtle reductive note adds complexity and depth. On the palate, the wine feels dense and textural. Saline notes and savory elements lead into a long, umami driven finish. As a result, the wine shows both weight and precision.
This is not a light or simple sparkling wine. Instead, it offers structure, depth, and a strong sense of place. It appeals especially to Champagne drinkers looking for a more distinctive and site driven expression.
Only a small number of bottles were produced, and very few reached Europe. Cruse wines regularly sell out in the United States, with demand continuing to grow. Therefore, availability remains extremely limited.
