  Delicious but need to filter. Fair amount sediment. Lot’s of fruit…..plum, apricot and earth. Nice to start and opens up with a little time.
  Very nice.

  We will travel to the ends of the earth for a perfect Pinot and pizza pairing. Tonight, a 2011 Belle Glos Clarke & Telephone with 1943 Pizza Bar’s New Haven pizza (white pizza with garlic mashed potatoes and bacon) with caramelized onions and their special white pizza with fontina, artichoke, Fresno chili, pesto and roasted mushrooms. It was an outdoor aprés ski vibe (certainly felt that way with 35°F temps! Belle Glos is a ‘controversial’ Pinot producer, with some calling it an over-extracted fruit bomb. I instead like to remind people that the Pinot grape has more genome variety than humans, so there’s plenty of room to explore. The 2011 Clarke & Telephone has mellowed out from the cherry bomb that it once was, with cherry, strawberry, cedar and spice box, mellow tannins but retains its balanced acidity. #92points.
