My favorite Belle Glos offering. Comes with a lot of power. Willamette seekers beware. Baking spice, leather, cherry cola. Can take age. Love.

First time tasting this wine. Found it to be very smooth yet full bodied. It paired well with pan-seared chicken.

Purplish opaque color, violets, dark fruits. A young bold pinot with refreshing aromas and a tasty palate

Delicious, full bodied. Especially compared to some central coast Pinot Noirs.
