The  Spanish term ‘Las Alturas’ means ‘the heights’, a fitting name for this vineyard located on one of the highest grape-growing benches in the Santa Lucia Highlands At this elevation, the sunny but very cool climate creates a robust,
 expressive, full bodied wine balanced by a firm acidity Las Alturas benefits from early morning fog from Monterey Bay which burns off within a few hours Gusty coastal winds moderate the overall temperature and contribute to one of the longest-growing seasons in California
