About the winery · Belle Glos ›
Belle Glos is the California Pinot Noir-focused label created by fifth-generation winemaker Joseph Wagner. The name honors his grandmother, Lorna Belle Glos Wagner, who co-founded Caymus Vineyards. Belle Glos emphasizes vineyard-designated wines from coastal California growing regions, including Dairyman in Russian River Valley. The house style is intentionally layered, fruit-forward and rich while aiming to show differences among vineyard sites.
