2006 Belle Glos Pinot Noir Las Alturas Vineyard

Pinot Noir: 750ml

$49.99

about this wine:

Located in one of the highest-plantable sites in the Santa Lucia Highlands of Monterey County, this pristine bench offers the Las Alturas Vineyard cool, coastal days with consistent sunshine and a foundation of Gloria sandy loam soil.

When planting this 15-acre vineyard, we matched various Pinot Noir clones to individual slopes and soil attributes of the land. Our yields are deliberately kept low in order to preserve the fruit intensity these clonal choices have given us.

Stephen Tanzer's IWC, June 2008

Dark red. Aromas of dark cherry, sassafras and flowers. Big, rich and sweet, with chewy dark raspberry fruit complicated by lower tones of meat, smoke and woodsy underbrush. Finishes with big, broad, dusty tannins and notes of pepper, spice and floral pastille. 89 points

Wine Spectator, September 2008

A rich, chewy, meaty style, with plenty of substance and depth built around dried currant, mineral, herb and sage notes. Needs time. Drink now through 2011. 1,325 cases made. -JL

About Winery

Belle Glos showcases distinctive Pinot Noirs produced from some of California's top wine-growing regions.The vineyard locations can all be described as coastal, but the climate differences are significant, depending on the amount of fog, wind, sunlight, and soil type at each site. Each wine is crafted to distill the purest essence of the vineyard into elegant expressions of California Pinot Noir.

Winemaker Joseph Wagner chose the name Belle Glos to honor his grandmother, Lorna Belle Glos Wagner, a co-founder of Caymus Vineyards.
