Belle Glos Pinot Noir
Fifth generation Pinot Noir, dipped in red wax since 2001.
The story behind Belle Glos
Belle Glos is Joe Wagner's project, founded in 2001 and named for his grandmother, Lorna Belle Glos Wagner, who co-founded Caymus Vineyards and loved Pinot Noir. The fruit comes off coastal California sites: Santa Maria Valley, Santa Lucia Highlands, Russian River Valley, Carneros. Fog, wind, and long hang time build the density this label is known for.
Every bottle wears the thick red wax dip with a pull tab, so you never need a knife. Single vineyard fruit, French oak, deep color, and a velvety weight that reads more like Cabernet than the pale Pinot most people picture. We have poured these for years and they still stop people mid sentence.
