BELLE GLOS

Sonoma Coast Pinot Noir

The fruit for this wine comes from a number of coastal vineyards from Marin County in the south to Mendocino County in the north. The separate components, when combined and aged in 60% new French oak for nine months, creates a wine of wonderful complexity, especially for the price. Its brick red color alludes to the brown spice and smokiness on the nose. There is ample fruit on the attack and mid-palate with soft tannins on the finish.

BTG $10.00 Retail $27.99

TWO HANDS

Petite Syrah

Peppery, with dark fruit flavors and a savory meatiness on a tightly tannic frame. Chewy and dense, with some spicy blackberry flavors that linger on the finish.

BTG $8.75 Retail $23.99

VIADER “DARE”

Cabernet Franc

Good ruby-red. Spicy, ripe, highly aromatic nose combines bitter cherry and blackberry. Silky, sweet and feminine, with a fresh flavor of blackberry. This possesses good fat as well as firm underlying structure. Finishes with broad tannins and a suggestion of nutty oak. In the style of a St. Emilion.

BTG $13.00 Retail $36.99
