One word can tell you a lot about a wine and in the case of Balade, which translates to wandering, the name defines the essence of this new project by Joe Wagner. With each new vintage, Joe will choose the most compelling and nuanced expression of Pinot Noir from a single site and release as a limited bottling.

Birthed from a single site located in the Santa Maria Valley of Santa Barbara and during the 2016 growing season, this particular vineyard was a stand-out for its fruit and undeniable complexity. Joe felt this vineyard expressed the quintessential qualities of its origin, with intensely flavored, dark-berry aromas and flavors. Just like all Belle Glos Pinots, it’s one of the deepest and most intense California Pinot Noirs with a generous style that’s resonated with wine lovers who enjoy a richer and more ripe style of Pinot Noir.

BALADE is a Limited Release from Belle Glos, less than 2-cases Remain! (sorry, now sold out)

2016 BALADE BELLE GLOS SANTA MARIA VALLEY PINOT NOIR

Winery Notes: “Bright cherry red with bold, vibrant aromas of blackberry jam, raspberry tart and toasted oak accented by subtle notes of rose petal, violets and cherry cola.This wine is juicy and generous on the palate with baked cherry, fresh strawberry, cranberry and baking spices. Perfectly balanced with bright acidity and a supple mouthfeel. Fine grained tannins provide an authentic textural distinction and structural depth.”

★ Still one of our most popular and best-selling wines of all time, Belle Glos has gone Beyond Super Cult Wine Status…

★ Joe Wagner’s Belle Glos Pinot Noirs are created in such an extravagant style that they’ve carved out their own category, and in doing so it took the entire Pinot Noir world by storm. In July of 2015 Joe split off the value priced Meomi label from Belle Glos and sold it to Constellation Brands for an eye-popping $315 million…

★ Since then Joe has been bestowing us with single vineyard Belle Glos Pinots such as this Balade, and he still remains one of the coolest Winemakers in the Industry… (he takes after his Dad, Chuck Wagner, Owner and Founder of CAYMUS – the awesome Caymus Family Connection!)
