There are very wineries that excite the Nicholas Wines Faithful more than the Caymus’ family’s Belle Glos project. Always the innovators, it seems like they keep adding to their impressive line. Today we’re welcoming another new first from Belle Glos and it’s the perfect Valentine’s Day treat.
Joe Wagner is the man behind the project – the youngest son of wine legend Chuck Wagner, (founder of Caymus) who learned firsthand from his father before he started winemaking himself at the ripe age of 17.
Two years later, at just 19 years of age, Joe told his father he wanted to launch Belle Glos (named after Caymus co-founder and his grandmother Lorna Belle Glos). The Wagners hadn’t branched too far into Pinot Noir, but Joe is the family’s forward thinker.
A few years later he’d launch another successful brand Meomi – which would become so huge, he’d later sell it for over $300 million. He did it to continue to buy vineyards to grow his Belle Glos project, which he’s hoping will continue to change the landscape of wine.

95 Points, Jeb Dunnuck – 95 Points, Lisa Perotti-Brown
The oft 100-point winemaker, Jayson Woodbridge had this to say when tasting his 2021 ‘Stargazing’ Sonoma Pinot: “The wine is vibrant and complex with subtle dark fruits and berries, grandmother’s cherry pie, minerals, and a slight touch of rain-soaked earth, intertwined with a balance and very pleasing easy-going luxury. Should have been priced higher but what the hell.” I have no doubt this clerical error will be addressed in the vintages moving forward. But for now, this is a cult Pinot for under $100/bottle.
It’s always nice to be in good standing with one of the most beloved wine brands in America! These won’t last long! This is an opulent, powerful dark-fruited Cabernet with tightly woven tannins, that is just raring and ready to go. Textbook, full-bodied, revved up and ready to go, this new Caymus Napa Valley Cabernet is the definition of a crowd pleaser.
90 Points, Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate
Xavier Vignon’s brand spanking new CDR 100% is a thing of beauty. It’s already got a blessing from Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate who described this wine as, “Full-bodied, concentrated and supple”. This is a gorgeous and intricate blend that features all of the Southern Rhone appellations. This year, the blend was 40% Grenache, 25% Mourvedre, 15% Syrah, 7% Cinsault, 7% Marselan, 6% Terret Noir. Nobody can do it like the mad scientist, Xavier Vignon.
At J Vineyards, Nicole is nothing short of a magician, making 30 different skus or more each vintage between her Pinots, Chardonnays, and Sparkling wines. For the vineyard’s flagship Russian River Valley Pinot Noir, up to 100 individual small lots are combined to make this great wine. Somehow, the blend is effortless–a quintessential RRV Pinot that has those soaring aromatics, bright red fruits, clove, and nutmeg spice with perfect balance.
