Belle Glos Clark & Telephone Pinot Noir is easily identifiable by its signature wax-dipped bottle and elegant script label, making it the perfect wine to celebrate dad this Father’s Day. Fifth-generation Napa Valley winemaker Joe Wagner learned his way around a vineyard long before he was able to drink wine. Inspired by his grandmother, Lorna Belle Glos Wagner, Joe created Belle Glos with a focus on vineyard-designated Pinot Noirs from California’s best coastal regions. Each Vineyard Designate is crafted to distill the purest essence of the locale into elegant expressions of California Pinot Noir. The Belle Glos Clark & Telephone Pinot Noir is deep ruby red in color with scarlet highlights, and opens with bountiful aromas of red fruits, laced with clove, cedar, and holiday baking spices. Bold and complex flavors of crushed ripe cherry, cranberry and blueberry pie linger on the palate through the warm and structured finish.

Böen California Pinot Noir draws its profile from the varied coastal wine growing areas that are among California’s most sought-after cool-climate appellations, each offering optimal growing conditions for this temperamental and early ripening varietal. Find aromas of ripe Bing cherry, cocoa and marion berry with a rich and balanced palate with bright acidity that leads into a long, smooth finish.

Napa Valley Quilt Cabernet Sauvignon Reserve The complex and bold assemblage of dark cu rant, blackberry, marion berry, and toasted hazelnut balance with hints of cardamom and dry dark chocolate. Pair this wine with a fattier steak like ribeye or sirloin cooked medium-rare to soften the tannins, highlight its fruity flavors, and balance out the salty fat.

2018 Kenefick Ranch Cabernet Franc, Caitlin's Select Bright red fruits, elements of rhubarb, and baker’s chocolate on the nose. Firm tannins and complex notes of graham cracker pie crust, with cherry filling.
Family-owned and operated for more than 40 years, Kenefick Ranch was founded by practicing neurosurgeon Dr. Tom Kenefick. Today, the vineyard and winery are operated by his children, Chris and Caitlin Kenefick, which is why we’re sharing two wines for Father’s Day inspired by their family’s legacy that wine-loving dads will love.

2018 Kenefick Ranch Merlot Dried Cherry, intense cassis, subtle coriander, and fresh plum make up the aromatics. Raspberry preserve, vanilla bean, and super fine, soft tannins seamlessly weave the palate together.

The small winery sends Collector’s Club members three bottles from their celebrated portfolio in March, May, September and November. Members also enjoy several discounts and added benefits including first access to new releases and exclusive tours of the vineyard and winery. The wine club membership is truly the gift that keeps on giving that is perfect for any occasion.
