Belle Glos explores California's coastal vineyards through vineyard-designated Pinot Noir. Owner and winemaker Joe Wagner named the winery for his grandmother, Lorna Belle Glos Wagner, an inspirational figure in his life and an avid lover of Pinot Noir. Clark & Telephone brings that vineyard-focused approach to Santa Barbara.
The supplied winemaker note describes a dark scarlet wine with blackberry, cherry and boysenberry aromas layered with cocoa. Rich marionberry flavors meet dried fig and chocolate-covered blueberry, with supple, refined tannins and a silky, lush finish. It is an opulent expression of Pinot Noir for those who enjoy generous fruit and velvety texture.
The Producer & Winemaker
Joe Wagner created Belle Glos in 2001 after learning the family craft alongside his father at Caymus Vineyards. His focus on coastal Pinot Noir recognizes the differences in fog, wind, sunlight and soils from one vineyard to the next, with each wine intended to express its locale.

"The dense nose on this wine offers ripe aromas of boysenberry, elderberry, root beer and cola. The palate is quite thick and extremely bold, pairing baked blackberry with coffee cake and cinnamon cookie flavors."
