Belle Glos Clark & Telephone Pinot Noir 2019

Cellar for up to 10 years. Decant 2 hours.

Deep ruby in colour, the nose displays ripe cherry, black berry and plum with additional notes of cranberry, leather, cedar and cloves. The palate releases a beautiful mix of flavours such as strawberry jam, ripe raspberry, gingerbread and caramel perfectly mingled with toast and cigar. The mouth feel is almost full bodied with good levels of tannin balanced perfectly with acid and alcohol. This is a beautifully complex wine with many layers – a top quality Pinot that is a joy to drink. The finish is long and persistent with just a hint of raspberry and cinnamon at the end.

Great to drink on its own or even better when paired with salmon, pork, pasta, beef, or ham.

The Belle Glos name comes from the winemaker, Joseph Wagner, who named it in honour of his grandmother Lorna Belle Glos Wagner who was the co-founder of Caymus.
The grapes were harvested early morning while still cool. Hand sorted and de-stemmed prior to a cold maceration in stainless steel tanks that can last up to 2 weeks. Only the free run juice is used which ensures top quality, superb wines. This juice was barrelled in French oak of which 60% was new, for 9 months prior to bottling.
