Country: US / Clark & Telephone Vineyard
Variety: Pinot Noir California
Winery: Belle Glos / Santa Barbara County
The vineyard is in Santa Maria Valley and the wine’s success is dependent on vintage conditions, just like in Burgundy. Past releases have varied widely. The ’06 is right in the middle, a dry, silky wine with cherry, cola, crushed brown spice and anise flavors, but also with a heavy tug of baked fruit.
