BELLE GLOS
2019 PINOT NOIR
LAS ALTURAS
SANTA LUCIA HIGHLANDS
When it comes to the deepest, inkiest and most extravagant Pinot Noirs, Joe Wagner, founder of Belle Glos, is an innovator for this unique style. He launched the Belle Glos brand in 2001 and focused on showcasing Pinot Noirs produced from California’s most noteworthy coastal wine-growing regions.
The latest iteration of the Las Alturas Vineyard Belle Glos Pinot Noir was rated 96 Points by Wine Enthusiast, and selected as #11 on The Enthusiast 100: The Best Wines of 2021.
Joe’s method of incorporating unprecedented levels (by Pinot Noir standards) of lavish fruits, sweet oak and stacked berries, resonated with wine lovers across the globe.
Joe was involved in the Wagner Family wine business at an early age, taking in valuable lessons from his father, Chuck Wagner, who founded Caymus Vineyards.
In July of 2015 Joe split off the value priced Meomi Pinot Noir label from Belle Glos and sold it to Constellation Brands for an eye-popping $315 million…
One of our customers’ favorites each year hails from the Las Alturas Vineyard, which is perched at 1,200 feet elevation, on one of the highest grape-growing benches in the Santa Lucia Highlands AVA.
The vineyard is heavily influenced by coastal fog from the Monterey Bay, and from gusty maritime winds that funnel in from the bay throughout the afternoons, which contributes to one of the longest growing seasons in California, and in turn, allows for a long hang-time and fully developed flavors.
If you enjoy BIG, inky and full-bodied California Pinot Noir, along with our best price in years, this one should top your list.

From 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.”

Winery Notes: “Dark ruby red in color with satisfying aromas of boysenberry, dark cherry and mulberry along with delicate hints of baking spices, dill, cola, nutmeg and vanilla. On the palate, bold flavors of cranberry, ripe plum, cherry and super-ripe strawberry are uplifted by gentle notes of cocoa powder and sweet fig for a generous and silky mouthfeel. This tremendously complex and broad-shouldered wine finishes with grace.”
