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

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.

We had the 2016 Vintage on 6/12-13/21. Like other Belle Glos Wines, this is darker in color and taste compared to other wines from the respective regions. Medium purple in color. The palate had blackberry, plum, cinnamon and some vanilla. Smooth finish, still medium bodied. There are just too many better options. Still worth drinking.
