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.

Bright ruby red rim with a dense red core. Deep aromas of raspberry, red currant, and forest floor complemented by subtle oak. Lovely texture and an expansive mid-palate, with flavors of dark cherry, cola, and cedar, vibrant acidity and well integrated tannins. Give this a year or two to be at its best.

Wine Spectator, September 2010
An elegant, understated style that builds depth and complexity around a core of ripe, rich cherry, wild berry and raspberry fruit. Firm and full-bodied, featuring a spicy, earthy foundation that ends with bay leaf, shoe polish and ripe fruit themes. Drink now through 2016. 1,635 cases made. -JL
