Mission Codename Wax On, Wax Off
The Wagner Family of Caymus fame also makes some of California’s most luxurious Pinot Noir at their Belle Glos winery. The 2013 Las Alturas was recently awarded 93 Points by The Wine Spectator’s James Laube, and we think he may have been a bit tough on it. The wine is astronomically good!
Dark, nearly opaque, richly-layered Pinot Noir with an intensity rarely found in CA Pinot Noir. A full-throttled CA Pinot for hedonistic drinking. Do not miss this opportunity.
This is a stunning wine to enjoy now or later. Cellar for the next few years. If you have the patience!
