Occasional wine note
This is a Pinot Noir for Cabernet lovers. Luscious fruit and soft spice and velvety tannin just deliver a great glass of wine every time. This is a rare occasion that we want to share a wine that is likely on your grocery store shelf, but we just love it and want to share it with you. This is our everyday Pinot. It never disappoints.

Wine Enthusiast
Firm lines of graphite and loamy earth streak through the opulent aromas of black plum and dried violet on the nose of this brooding Pinot Noir. The palate is a whirlwind of exuberance, as leathery tannins wrap around more graphite minerality, dried violet and lavender, with stewed plum and a touch of bittersweet cocoa on the finish

Vinous
The 2019 Pinot Noir Las Alturas captures all the signatures of the Belle Glos style and yet has quite a bit of freshness too. That makes for a compelling Pinot for readers who enjoy big, large-scaled wines. Sweet spice, rose petal, lavender and spice are nicely kicked up here. Best after 2023
