Belle Glos, the Wax Dipped Pinot for Cabernet Drinkers
Belle Glos is the dark, plush, decadent Pinot Noir that converts people who think they dislike Pinot. It is a rich, full bodied wine in an unmistakable red wax dipped bottle. It is the gift for the Cabernet drinker, the Pinot skeptic, and anyone who loves a bold, generous red. The striking wax capsule makes it a beautiful gift before it is even opened.
Belle Glos is made by Joseph Wagner of the Wagner family, the same family behind Caymus. It is named for his grandmother, Lorna Belle Glos Wagner, a co founder of Caymus. That pedigree shows in the style. Where many Pinots are light and delicate, Belle Glos is deep, ripe and almost Cabernet like. It is sourced from prized California coastal vineyards and aged in French oak for richness and structure.
What makes it a great gift:
- A dark, plush, full bodied Pinot Noir that wins over Cabernet drinkers.
- The signature red wax dipped bottle, a striking gift on sight.
- Made by Joseph Wagner of the Wagner family behind Caymus.
- From prized California coastal fruit, aged in French oak.
- Rich, ripe and decadent, the opposite of a thin, delicate Pinot.
In the glass it is lush and unctuous, with ripe dark cherry, boysenberry and blueberry. Cocoa, nutmeg and baking spice round out a full body and a long, generous finish. It has the depth and plush texture of a much bigger red. That is precisely why it turns Pinot skeptics into fans. The red wax dipped bottle looks like a gift the moment it appears. It makes an impression before the cork is ever pulled.
Serve it with salmon, duck, pork or a mushroom dish. It is a natural for a Cabernet lover ready to explore, or a dinner party. It is also a gift that looks as good as it tastes. Back engraving is available on the bottle, and a personalized gift note can be added at checkout.
