Over time the Belle Glos label from owner and winemaker Joseph Wagner has continuously proven to be a popular choice with our customers. In the past we have focused primarily on their wonderful Clark & Telephone Vineyard Pinot Noir from the Santa Maria Valley but for the January 2021 Blowout Wine we wanted to recommend our customers another great wine from the Belle Glos brand. Our offering this month comes wrapped in lovely crimson wax that entreats you to open and release the delightful liquid inside. Each year Joseph Wagner and his team choose a single vineyard to highlight under their Balade label, which is a French term for ‘wandering,’ and used here to impart the concept of exploration they undergo each year when looking for that special vineyard to feature. This year the 2019 Balade Pinot Noir is sourced from the Survey single vineyard in the cool climate and respected Pacific influenced western portion of the Santa Ynez Valley, the Sta. Rita Hills. This Pinot Noir has a bold personality with spiced stewed strawberry, aromatic blueberry fruit, fresh tart huckleberry and rich blackberry and plum flavors.
