Belle Glos Las Alturas Vineyard Pinot Noir 2018
Pinot Noir has the well deserved reputation of being a finicky and difficult grape to cultivate. It thrives in cooler climates like Burgundy and the Willamette Valley in Oregon, but is also widely planted throughout sun-drenched California.

A vineyard ( VIN-yərd, UK also VIN-yard) is a plantation of grape-bearing vines, grown mainly for winemaking, but also raisins, table grapes, and non-alcoholic grape juice. The science, practice and study of vineyard production is known as viticulture. Vineyards are often characterised by their terroir, a French term loosely translating as "a sense of place" that refers to the specific geographical and geological characteristics of grapevine plantations, which may be imparted to the wine itself.

Deep dark color, red fruit aromas, cherry on the palate.. smooth, but very bold for a Pinot Noir! Possibly more intense than 2017?

Cherry and Raspberry. Bold for a Pinot but very smooth. All the Belle Glos are awesome. In fact everything from Joseph Wagner is awesome.

Always one of my favorite Pinots from California! Dark cherry and raspberry with some smoke and tobacco undertones. Delicious!
