Clark & Telephone Suitcase Clone

Santa Maria Valley Pinot Noir

Indulge in the exquisite Belle Glos Clark & Telephone Suitcase Clone Pinot Noir from the prestigious Santa Maria Valley. This wine showcases the true essence of its coastal origin, presenting a beautifully deep, garnet-red hue. On the palate, it offers a lush, full-bodied experience that is both smooth and rich, with pronounced, yet well-integrated, tannins. Expect a delightful burst of fruit with vibrant raspberry, blackberry, and dark cherry notes, complemented by hints of baking spices and velvety chocolate undertones. The acidity is lively and refreshing, creating a perfect balance and a lingering, harmonious finish. A prime example of handcraftsmanship and regional excellence, this wine captivates the senses and leaves a memorable impression.

Central Coast

California's Central Coast might be a bit quieter than Napa or Sonoma to the north, but this lesser-known region produces many world-class wines. Enjoying incredible terroir along its vast 280-mile stretch—from San Francisco Bay to Santa Barbara—Central Coast wines are increasingly in demand. Its position between the Pacific Coast Ranges and the Southern Coast Ranges is key to its quality, with many cool-climate AVAs offering elegant Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, Syrah and Merlot. In the hotter parts of the Central Coast, away from the coastal fogs and cold mountain slopes, Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Syrah, Grenache and Mourvèdre are exceptional.
