About the winery · Belle Glos ›

Belle Glos is focused on vineyard-designated Pinot Noirs from California coastal regions. The label was created by owner and winemaker Joseph Wagner, a fifth-generation Napa Valley winemaker, and is named in honor of his grandmother Lorna Belle Glos Wagner. Belle Glos emphasizes single-vineyard expressions, with Las Alturas representing its Santa Lucia Highlands site. The house style is described by Wagner as layered, complex, fruit-forward, and rich.
