New vintage, same delicious fruit forward Pinot. Clark & Telephone is the best of these Belle Glos Pinots, I believe. Opulent.

Nov 28th, 2021Classic Belle Glos style - fruit forward and really smooth for a Pinot. Great to revisit, and good vintage.

This young Pinot Noir from California is already drinking very nicely.
Big, bold and opulent. Rich, yet elegant. Very fruity on the palate.
Showing black fruits with wood, vanilla, earth, spices, chocolates, tobacco leaf and light green vegetables.
Spicy finish with soft tannins.
I prefer drinking this at around 5 year of age.
I gave it a long decant (2 hours), which callmed it down a bit.
A Pinot Noir for the Cabernet lover.
14.9% alcohol by volume.
90 points.
$50.

Pinot on steroids. But not over extracted and it all works.
