Description
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!)
