The nose is generous and expressive, opening with wild blackberry, raspberry jam, cigar box, and floral notes.\n\nOn the palate, the wine is plush and layered, with sweet cherry, wild strawberry, and cranberry joined by warm gingerbread straight from the oven. It offers the ripe, polished richness that Belle Glos is known for, while still retaining the elegance and lift of cool-climate Pinot Noir. Enjoy now for its vibrant fruit, though it should also hold nicely over the next few years.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProduction\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe grapes come from the Clark \u0026amp; Telephone vineyard in Santa Maria Valley, where fog and wind from the Pacific Ocean create a cool growing environment that slows ripening and preserves freshness.
