Belle Glos Oeil de Perdrix Blanc de Noir

The Oeil de Perdrix Blanc de Noir shows a beautiful salmon pink in the glass and boasts aromas of honeysuckle, Asian pear and Fuji apple followed by notes of vanilla and orange blossom.

As a fifth generation Napa Valley winemaker, Joseph Wagner learned his way around a vineyard long before he was able to drink wine. Inspired by his grandmother, Lorna Belle Glos Wagner, Joseph created Belle Glos in 2001 with a focus on vineyard-designated Pinot Noirs from California’s best coastal regions. Wagner continues to honor Lorna’s legacy with Belle Glos which includes six Pinot Noirs and the Blanc de Noir Rosé.

Napa Valley Quilt Chardonnay

Classic yet complex, Napa Valley Quilt is fifth-generation winemaker Joseph Wagner’s tribute to the character of Napa Valley and its rolling patchwork of vineyards. Napa Valley Quilt exemplifies the classic cult-style wine structure achievable only in the Napa Valley, while the blending of fruit from a variety of vineyards allows the wines to have more complexity and a better style consistency from vintage to vintage.

This medium bodied chardonnay has crisp aromas of juicy white peach, honeysuckle, pear, white plum, and nectarine. Refreshing stone fruit, kiwi, apricot, nectarine, and Meyer lemon zest flavors and hints of lightly toasted oak.

Enjoy the refreshing palate from the first sip to the lingering finish, where the balance of fruit and acidity quenches the palate. And, perfect any picnic spread with a batch of Not Your Mother's White Wine Spritzer.
