If you enjoyed the Blanc de Noirs I encourage you to try the Brut Rose. It is made from 95% Pinot noir and has hints of berries and cream with very fine bubbles.
We currently grow the grapes for that particular sparkler so I’m a bit biased, but it is my favorite California sparkling wine by a wide margin.
