A wonderful new addition to the Belle Glos lineup of single-vineyard Pinot Noirs. As single-vineyard wines should, this Pinot offers a unique combination of flavors when compared to the other Belle Glos Pinots. A robust nose of black cherry, ripe plum, black fruit with hints of rhubarb and cinnamon. An interesting balance of juicy acidity and supple tannins on the palate with rich delicious flavors of dark cherry, ripe plum, dark spice, cinnamon and cola with just a hint of chocolate on the finish.

This Pinot Noir blends grapes from California’s premier Pinot growing regions, 51% Monterey County, 28% Santa Barbara County & 21% Sonoma County. A very rich and plush mouth-feel with fully ripe berry flavors. This beauty needs at least 15 minutes to open to its full potential. The opening act is an appealing nose of blackberry, blueberry and spice. The palate is then treated to a wine with balanced acidity offering flavors of blueberry, blackberry and dark cherry with notes of spice and cola on the long finish. As it opens, subtle notes reminiscent of blueberry pie entice. Buy This Wine

There are some wines where the description should begin and end with yummy or delicious without all the deconstructed tasting notes… this is one of those wines. A flamboyant fruit-forward Pinot Noir with an enticing nose of blackberry and baked cherries with notes of blueberry. Robust flavors of dark cherry pie, blackberry and ripe raspberry followed by vanilla and baking spice on the long finish. An excellent balance of jamminess and acidity. Buy This Wine
