Our Story

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.

Our Vineyards

Belle Glos showcases distinctive Pinot Noirs produced from some of California’s top wine-growing regions. The vineyard locations can all be described as coastal, but the climate differences are significant, depending on the amount of fog, wind, sunlight, and soil type at each site. Each wine is crafted to distill the purest essence of the vineyard into elegant expressions of California Pinot Noir.

Winemaker

As a fifth-generation Napa Valley winemaker, Joe learned his way around a vineyard long before he was able to drink wine.  By the time he was 19 he knew that he would continue his family’s winemaking legacy, working alongside his father at Caymus Vineyards. In 2001, he created Belle Glos, with a focus on vineyard-designated Pinot Noirs from throughout California’s best coastal regions.  More recently, he has launched a number of new brands under Copper Cane Wines & Spirits. Joe has a keen interest in contributing to the evolution of the wine industry, by discovering new wine growing locations and through experimentation in the cellar.
