Belle Glos Clark & Telephone Vineyard Pinot Noir 2016 – Santa Maria Valley

The 2016 Belle Glos Clark & Telephone Vineyard Pinot Noir is a stunning single-vineyard expression from the Santa Maria Valley, crafted by acclaimed winemaker Joe Wagner. Known for its bold style and rich character, this vintage offers a luxurious and layered experience that Pinot Noir lovers seek out.

This wine opens with lush aromas of ripe black cherry, raspberry compote, and baking spices, accented by notes of cola, cedar, and vanilla from barrel aging. On the palate, it is silky and full-bodied, with concentrated flavors of dark berry, cocoa, and sweet oak, supported by soft tannins and balanced acidity. The cool-climate fruit from the coastal Santa Maria Valley lends depth and structure, creating a long, elegant finish.

Perfect for pairing with grilled salmon, duck breast, mushroom risotto, or charcuterie, this 2016 vintage is a prime example of Belle Glos' signature intensity and finesse.
