Belle Glos
Dairyman Russian River Valley Pinot Noir
Russian River Valley, Sonoma County, California, USA
Love this! If you like Meomi you will love this one. Its a good pinot noir for Cab drinkers.

Dark and opaque. Earthy nose. Unusually heavy and thick for a Pinot, particularly a Cali Pinot. Give this at least two hours in decanter.

Smoke and intense red fruit with just a slight bite of currant and earth.

Went back to the well...
Beginning to see the flavor profiles that divide the Belle Glos vineyards.
Jam compote, sandalwood and dark cherries on the nose. Palette less nuanced from what I have come to expect. The plushness and density also falls a little short. Great profile of rich, dark overripe fruits. Finishes sweet with fully integrated tannins. Good but not great. Consider this for short-term cellaring only.

Dark Pinot that looks like a cab. I thought it was excellent. Pinot drinkers that like a lighter wine may differ.
