Owner/winemaker, Joe Wagner chose the name Belle Glos (pronounced “BELL GLOSS”) to honor his grandmother, Lorna Belle Glos Wagner. Lorna co-founded Caymus Vineyards in 1972 alongside Charlie Sr., and Chuck, Joe’s grandfather and father, respectively. She was an inspirational figure to Joe and an avid lover of Pinot Noir.
While each vineyard location lies near the Pacific Ocean, the climate differences are significant, varying with the amount of fog, wind, sunlight, and soil type at each site. Each Vineyard farmed and crafted to distill the purest essence of the locale into elegant expressions of California Pinot Noir.
