Description

Belle Glos Dairyman Pinot Noir comes from one single site in the Russian River Valley of Sonoma County. The Dairyman Vineyard was once a dairy farm and open pasture. It was first planted in 2000 with Dijon clones of Pinot Noir. Fog rolls in from the nearby Pacific each morning and evening, keeping the grapes cool.

The wine rests for up to nine months in French oak, and about 60% of the barrels are new. In the glass it shows a deep garnet color that leans toward dark plum.

You will smell black cherry, ripe blackberry and dark chocolate first. Softer notes of black currant and cedar follow. On the palate you get blackberry and raspberry with warm cinnamon, nutmeg and a touch of chocolate. The tannins are smooth, and the finish is focused and of medium length. Reviewers also note ripe plum, vanilla and oak, with subtle floral hints on the nose.

Serve it slightly cool and give it a few minutes in the glass. It works well with roast duck, grilled salmon, mushroom risotto or veal. This is a bottle for seasoned wine lovers and casual drinkers alike, as long as you enjoy a rich red.
