about this wine:
Clark & Telephone Vineyard, located near the corner of Clark Avenue and Telephone Road in the Santa Maria Valley, is cooled by wind and fog that snakes in from the Pacific Ocean along a channel of the Santa Maria River.
Established in 1972, the Clark & Telephone Vineyard was planted "own root" to the Martini clone. This heirloom clone of Pinot Noir, one of the first to grace the California coastlands, has become something of a lost treasure.
Geoffrey Binder, JJ Buckley, February 2013
Keeping in tradition with the Belle Glos style, the 2011 Clark & Telephone coats the glass in an opaque purple core with a bright fuscia rim. It features a rich, creamy nose, almost reminiscent of syrah with its crème de cassis, melted licorice and crushed violets. Full-bodied and concentrated, yielding notes of boysenberry, ripe currant and touch of vanilla oak. This is a massive, full-throttle pinot noir.
