More about 2020 Belle Glos Las Alturas Pinot Noir 1.5L Magnum Belle Glos Pinot Noirs have an extravagantly rich style that transcends varietal/category to the degree that even some Cabernet-drinkers enjoy them. Winemaker Joe Wagner discovered Las Alturas Vineyard, one of Santa Lucia Highlands's highest-plantable sites, and chose it for its strong maritime influence and Gloria sandy loam soils. Perched at 1,200 feet elevation, the 15-acre Las Alturas Vineyard is planted to various clones of Pinot Noir, separated by the land's natural slopes and soil attributes. Joe's team deliberately farms the site to encourage low yields, preserving fruit intensity, depth, and sense of place.
