Balade

Sta. Rita Hills Pinot Noir

Belle Glos Balade Pinot Noir from the Sta. Rita Hills is a captivating expression of this renowned varietal. This wine beautifully captures the essence of its cool-climate region, known for producing some of the finest Pinot Noir wines. In the glass, it reveals an enchanting deep ruby-red color that hints at the complexity within. On the nose, you are greeted with an inviting bouquet of ripe cherries, blackberries, and a touch of red plum, intermingled with subtle earthy undertones and a hint of forest floor. The palate is equally compelling, with a medium-to-full body that delivers a rich and silky texture. The fruit intensity is prominent, showcasing lush flavors of dark cherry, raspberry, and a whisper of cranberry. These fruit notes are gracefully balanced by a bright and lively acidity that keeps the wine refreshing and vibrant. The tannins are soft yet well-structured, providing a smooth framework that leads to a long, elegant finish. This Pinot Noir from Sta. Rita Hills is a testament to meticulous viticulture and winemaking, offering a harmonious and memorable wine experience.
