Sourced from a single vineyard close to the Pacific Coast, it combines cool maritime influence with generous sunshine for a wine that is both vibrant and deeply concentrated.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn the glass, it shows a deep blood-red colour that hints at its richness and intensity. The nose is lavish and expressive, with blackberries, raspberry tart, honeysuckle, rose petals, violets, and a playful Cherry Coke note.\n\nThe palate is juicy and full of flavour, leaning toward black cherry, fresh strawberry, and cranberry, wrapped in a subtle touch of vanilla from the oak. Despite its generous style, the wine should continue to evolve gracefully over the next several years, gaining further complexity with bottle age.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProduction\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe grapes come from a single vineyard site in California positioned close to the Pacific Coast, where cool ocean breezes and ample sunlight help create small berries with exceptional flavour concentration. Winemaker Joe Wagner de-stemmed the fruit before pressing, then matured the wine for 12 months in French oak barrels, 60% of which were new.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFood \u0026amp; Serving\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis Pinot Noir is a natural match for roasted duck, grilled salmon, mushroom risotto, pork tenderloin, or rich poultry dishes. Serve it at around 16–18°C, and consider decanting for 20–30 minutes if you want to open up the aromatics and soften the oak.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProducer\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBelle Glos is known for producing expressive, plush Pinot Noir from standout vineyard sites across California.
