This is an odd duck. Napa Cabernet but it tastes like a Merlot-heavy blend. Light bodied and blue fruit.

Crafted by Joseph J. Wagner, 4th generation winemaker, with winemaking roots in the Napa Valley since 1906. Deep Ruby with red berry fruit aromas, tea and sweet spice notes. On the palate flavors of jammy blackberry and cherry with pronounced sweet vanilla oak, cacao and pepper spice notes. Soft tannins and bright acidity, well balanced, with mineral tones on a long finish ending with toasty spice! Nice! — 2 years ago

Deep ruby color; blueberries, bell pepper, and a hint of paprika on the nose; medium acidity, medium tannins; tastes like tart cherries, blueberries, and slate with a moderate finish. Nellie says is ok. Not as complex as I would like, but it's ok. — 3 years ago

‘Las Alturas' Spanish for 'the heights', a fitting name, this vineyard located on one of the highest grape-growing benches in the Santa Lucia Highlands AVA. 4th gen Winemaker Joseph J. Wagner from family with farming & winemaking roots in Napa since 1906. Met Joe several times. Deep Ruby (darkest Pinot I have come across). Nice berry and floral spice aromas. Rich cherry/plum flavors with oak, spice and vanilla. Long finish, bold ending with sweet oak notes. Very Nice! A Fav! — 2 years ago

As the name suggests... Deep. A raspberry nose, but on the palate, all the black fruit emerge... Blackberry, current, black cherry, more raspberry... Some syrupy tartness, but this is elegant and balanced... Eucalyptus, some graphite? Big fruit dominates though. The finish is a tad cloying but long... A lot of fruit in this package. — 5 years ago
