The Telephone vineyard was planned in 1972 and is located in the Santa Maria Valley Vineyard. The vineyard is cooled by fog and wind coming in from the Pacific Ocean. The wine is allowed to rest for nine months on French oak, of which as much as 60% is brand new barrels. The wine carries Belle Glo's signature aromas in the form of red cherries, dried cranberries and red spices with a fantastic depth in the fruit.
