The Spanish term "Las Alturas" means "the heights", a fitting name for this vineyard located on one of the highest grape-growing benches in the Santa Lucia Highlands AVA up to 1,200 feet. At this elevation, the sunny but very cool climate creates a wine bearing all the hallmarks of this coastal region: robust, expressive, full-bodied, and balanced by a firm acidity. My goal with each of the Belle Glos single-vineyard Pinot Noirs is to express the uniqueness of each vineyard and craft a genuine style of California Pinot Noir that is layered, complex, fruit-forward and rich. Our Las Alturas vineyard in the Santa Lucia Highlands of Monterey County is well suited to producing a wine in our signature style.

• Complex aromas and flavors, including dark cherry, vanilla, spice, ripe berries, oak, and generality, make it versatile for pairing or savoring alone

• Crafted with traditional techniques and modern technology to produce an exceptional quality and depth of wine

• Made from premium grapes grown in Santa Lucia highlands known, for exceptional quality fruit
