2023 Belle Glos Clark & Telephone Vineyard Pinot Noir

Lush fruit meets coastal poise. From the historic Clark & Telephone Vineyard in Santa Maria Valley, this Pinot Noir delivers depth, spice, and a distinctly silken glide. Extended, meticulous élevage shapes polished tannins while preserving vibrant fruit and the site’s cool-climate snap. It’s generous, intensely flavored, and unmistakably Belle Glos—ready now, confident in the cellar.

Nose: Blackberry, ripe cherry, and boysenberry layered with cocoa, baking spice, and a hint of cedar; plush yet focused.

Palate: Full, smooth texture carries black plum, crushed raspberry, and mocha over lively acidity and fine-grained tannins, balancing the flavors.

Finish: Long and velvety, echoing dark fruit, chocolate, and warm spice with a gentle mineral snap.

Ribeye with herb butter shines. Roasted duck or pork shoulder fits the wine’s richness. Try mushroom risotto, truffle tagliatelle, or aged Gouda for a savory match.
