Belle Glos Pinot Noir Clark and Telephone Vineyard 2004
Santa Maria Valley, Santa Barbara County, Central Coast, California, United StatesBelle Glos Wagner lends her name to this Santa Barbara pinot form the folks at Caymus. Smoky, vanilla, cherry jam, leesy, tea leaf, spicy, compost nose with a touch of licorice, rubber and orange. Soft, round, supple and elegant with sweet fruit. Strawberry, black cherry, tea leaf, spicy, cola, vanilla, rhubarb, lees and carrot flavours. Long, warm, slightly tannic finish but has very good balance and finesse. A fine drink that will improve over the next few years but will need decanting.Tasted: 02 September 2006Tasted by: Anthony Gismondi and Stuart TobePrices:BC | $48.99 | 750ml | specialty listing |
