Las Alturas Vineyard Pinot Noir
Santa Lucia Highlands, Central Coast, California, USA
‘Las Alturas' Spanish for 'the heights', a fitting name, this vineyard located on one of the highest grape-growing benches in the Santa Lucia Highlands AVA. 4th gen Winemaker Joseph J. Wagner from family with farming & winemaking roots in Napa since 1906. Met Joe on his recent trip to CT. Tried latest vintage! Deep Ruby (darkest Pinot I have come across). Nice berry and floral spice aromas. Rich cherry/plum flavors with oak, spice and vanilla. Lingering ending with sweet oak notes. Nice! A Fav!

Just so damn tasty and the color of these wines is incredible. Probably have stained my teeth a shade or two darker.

Loved this wine! Drank the 2017 vintage on Mother’s Day 2020 with Miral and Kyle and a superb meal from Eddie V’s. This wine was darker red than some pinots, with nice flavor and acidity. Also, the bottle was very pretty with red wax top.
